Fartgallery

A misleading chair, which will generate a fart when somebody sits on it, which will be judged via a ‘test your strength’ style dinger.

Matt Iles has a ‘pull my finger’ website reference to offer up for this.

    Strikes me you could use Piezo-electric force sensors to sense the weight of the individual, and reliably map each individual to the same response each time, through some random-seeming mechanism (like choosing weight intervals).

    The chair discussion went much further than just a chair - one concept was to rotate a loo seat through 90 degrees and then get people to bend over and walk backwards towards it, with the foirce of their backwards walking measured and displayed as a score. But at the same time, spectators would see a video camera view of the same scene, but rotated through 90 degrees, so that the person/victim would apparently fall downwards onto the loo seat!
