Christmas contest shenanigans

Hi guys, I need your advice on something. I've really been struggling with what to do and I'm still pissed about it so I'm not sure about what to do. So, here it goes:

I'm part of the 'Fun Committee' at the office. We are in charge of putting together fun activities about once a month to get out of the office environment and keep colleagues motivated. So far we've done some really cool stuff like climbing a volcano, paintballs, rappelling, parties, etc. Last week, we were asked by our HR manager to help out in putting together some fun activities for this year's Christmas Party. Among other things, we did a "Guess how many m&m's in the jar" contest. The prize was a DVD player. The only people who knew how many were in the jar were the Fun Committee members.

We were receiving estimates the day after and the day of the party, and even during the party. And it turns out that 10 minutes before the deadline, this mofo who happens to be dating one of the members gives out his estimate and misses by 2 m&m's. Me and another friend confronted her. We went all good cop/bad cop on her (I played bad cop in case you were wondering) but with no success. She denied the whole thing. Of course, there is absolutely on doubt in our minds about what happened and we had to make up some bullshit about giving a second prize due to the extremely high participation in order to compensate to the real winner.

Our dilemma here, is what to do next. This was definitely wrong in so many ways and these ******s should not get away with it under any circumstances. We all feel we should do something but not really sure what since this shit can get blown out of proportion and it's our workplace we're talking about here ffs!!!

So guys, what would you do in this situation? Any techniques on how to get these ******s to confess or something?

cor version?

ftw! Dont forget to punctuate it with a donkey punch.

Seriously though, kind of a shitty situation since there's really nothing you can do. You could get confrontational, but that'll quickly boil down to your word vs. theirs and from there it'll just get ugly. Just pee in her coffee or somethin.

C'mon people, a little seriousness never hurt anyone!

I know, it fucking sucks...I can get creative though. What I'm really looking for is a way to make them victims of their own bullshit.

hahah


anyhow just let her continue to be in the thing. if her boyfriend wins again... she is out!

next month, come up with a contest where you or someone else sets it up and knows the real deal. Then give out wrong answers to the other committee members. See if the chick and her buddy fall for it this time.

The thing is, if it is ever known that we knew about it and never brought it to the attention of their supervisors, we might get into trouble.

I like the way you think

But to set this up, we would have to be very careful because she already knows that we know. How would you set it up?

The office fun committee set up a "how many m&m's in the jar" contest. One girl in the committee is dating a guy in the office and he missed the number by 2 (There were 1,264 and the mofo guessed 1,266). We confronted her, she denied it to death. We decided to give a prize to the runner-up (the real winner, in our opinion) to avoid shit from hitting the fan. Now we are looking for a way to screw them.

Sounds you're putting too much effort into something meaningless.

I know, it sounds uberly gay but we get a chance to do cool activities like rappelling, rafting, paintball shots, etc. on company money!

I'd rather be in this thing and do these cool things than let someone else set up their lame ass karaoke night.
