Sometimes things don't go the way they should....

One day, in Enrichville, there was a challenge, for whoever could make the best chair in 40 minutes out of newspaper and masking tape. You were to get into five groups, of five people, with at least one girl in the team. The chair had to hold a wooden frog without collapsing. The team that was going to win was the team with Jake, Max N, Jayden, Hyrum and Isabella.

They got off to a great start, each making beams and Hyrum with the tape in his hand. The beams were made of newspaper, and advertising paper. The team's plan was to make something different, a triangular shaped chair, which they were hoping to get extra credit for the thought put into it. 15 minutes to go when good old cheeky Max J comes along to tell them it is not a chair if it hasn't got a back to lean on. So the team made the back until Max J came along and told them if our chair was wooden and life size, people would pay 50 dollars for it. The team was quite happy with that "compliment" until he said his team's chair would be worth 2 million dollars. The team just smiled and thought, "Yeah, whatever" and just continued building. The team was a bit worried that Max's teams chair was going to be better than theirs, so they sent Jake to go and check out the chairs. He went to the Max's chair and was greeted by Wilson saying his chair was rather more of a "chofa" (a chair and a sofa at the same time). Then Darryn comes over to the chofa and says it looks "chugly". You can figure that one out.

It's judging time and the cruel judges come up. Turns out only four chairs were completed. Three out of four chairs held the frog. It's down to two now. But they chose the OTHER chair! The only reason why is because the other chair is square instead of triangle. But Darryn butts in. He said our chair is more simple and strong, considering the winners chair actually fell apart when the judges lifted it up.
