| Given an hour an a half to make a cardboard chair out of pieces of scrap we brought in, we provided a master class in what not to do and we've come up with some tips so you don't end up embarrassed in front of your entire year. Tip #1: Do not use a third of your time limit designing your chair, generally it would look bad anyway. It is essential that you think quickly and are decisive to make sure you at least have a chair. Tip#2: Do not use a tall cardboard tube to bear the brunt of the load, it will fail. Tip #3: If you ignore tip #2, DO NOT SIT on your chair, it will wind up with you red faced on the floor in front of your entire year. At least it the card cushions your fall from grace.
