We live in an area where EVERY garb workshop we've ever had somebody either
forgets to bring fabric, or forgets to wash and dry it before starting, or
something along those lines. This is with clearly printed instructions.
People are NOT encouraged to think (I believe) in this culture.

I don't even want to think about verifying whether eggs have been boiled or
not. Who would handle that? The Marshals? Is there some kind of test, like
spin them or something?

I'd say duct taped foam balls and goggles on the participants is a good
thing. Just a thought.
