The second event was a standard apple bob relay; 2 people going for one of the 20 apples in a bin filled with water. As it turns out, this was one of Molly's favorite games, and she set the tone by getting her apple with amazing speed and vigor, which every subsequent racer emulated. This resulted in not only a very wet floor, but very wet people and, once again, a boatload of fun. Odd Quad won.
The third and final event was something snap apple: a game Jonathan had learned by chance on his trip earlier that day to the Mark Twain House, with his [[English]] class. Before the dance, he hung 20 plastic knives from the ceiling on long strings down to head level. Once people had bobbed their apple out, he instructed them to go to a string on their team's side of the hall and jam their apple onto it. Players now had to close their eyes and simply try to take a bite out of the apple; the first team on which all members succeeded would win. The hall now fell very silent for the 20 minutes this event took, as everyone found that this was way harder than Jonathan had anticipated. To those with eyes open, the scene was total hilarity, as apples made slow orbits around unsensing heads with gaping mouths, and the country's brightest undergraduates invented strategies to face a novel challenge. The event was eventually called before either team could finish, so dancing could resume.
