Voltron: Let’s Resolve 2009 Election

In the comments section, Voltron has proposed a contest between Councilman Mike Kennedy and challenger Jim Brannon, with a North Idaho Fair theme, to end Brannon's long-running lawsuit from 2009 council elections.There's seven rounds to the contest, with each round progressively harder. The Third Round tests, for example, "is about having a strong stomach. It consists eating an elephant ear, one cotton candy, an ice cream bar, a corn dog and a rasberry flavored snow cone in the fastest time possible. During the eating portion, Mike Kennedy will be forced to listen to a Mary Souza rant on tape. Jim Brannon will be forced to listen to Phaedrus rant on tape. Any vomitting is an automatic loss for the round." You can read the entire contest proposal here.

Question: Can you suggest other fair-oriented tests to resolve Brannon's legal challenge?
