220. In Anatomy, outline where all the bones in your body are on your skin with sharpie, then label them.
221. In Invasive Species, be disruptive. When the proctor comes over to see what's going on or asks you to stop, tell them that they're being an invasive species.
222. Call your Fossil's proctor a fossil.
223. Spend the whole time alotted for Road Scholar arguing about how the event should have used a different state map.

224. For Food Science, eat some of another team's finshed product before they can weigh it or measure it, then offer the proctor the rest of it. :D

226) Make rudely shaped snowmen. Actually happened to my team last year at MIT. No trouble from the tournament but our coach got pretty mad.

227) Contaminate the stock solutions in chem lab. Switch the deionized water with tap water. Didn't happen to use but happened last year to another team in our region

There should be a scioly black market for working laptops with three holes in them (although it would still be illegal, I believe there are general rules about no electricity unless otherwise specified).
