Detailed Description
From the newspaper next monday:
PMHS’s sophomore class shocked absolutely no one today as the sophomore class president made a completely expected announcement lambasting the lack of usage of allegedly hallowed design principles in the various student club banners displayed around campus.
At approximately 11:30am on Saturday, when everybody important in school was paying attention to the science fair, sophomore class president Aldous Garamondi unfurled a manifesto at what the sophomore class considered a press conference.
“Too long has this school suffered at the pain of having inconsistent serifs and unequal use of paint in its school banners,” Garamondi declared. “Many a letter has been denied its proper width by improper planning of message length. Well, with this new decree, as endorsed by important members of this class, I declare that we will soon be free of the Dark Ages of design ignorance and we will usher in a new renaissance of school banners, the like of which this school has never seen!
Sophomore members of the PMHS typography club, the only students actually present at the event, then proceeded to roam the hallways, press-ganging unwitting victims into recreating banners matching their expectations.
School officials were completely unfazed at the announcement. “They are just being stupid again,” an official mentioned. “It will blow over in no time.”

Hints
Ask teams what they have done, probing details if necessary (often this will get a team unstuck by themselves).
