Tried competitive turtle stacking at a county fair last weekend and it went exactly how you'd expect

So I saw this booth at the Polk County Fair last Saturday advertising "Turtle Stacking Trials" and I thought, how hard can it be? You just put turtles on top of each other, right? Wrong. First off, these were like little musk turtles, not the big snappers I was imagining. The guy running it, Dave, had this whole point system based on how many you could balance before they all slid off. I managed to get three stacked before one decided to just walk off the side and flip over onto the dirt. Dave told me I tied for last place with a 9 year old who was just eating popcorn the whole time. Has anyone else tried this or is my county fair just especially weird?

Had to look this up cause it sounded so wild but pretty sure those are actually mud turtles not musk turtles. Easy mix up though. Dave's scoring system sounds completely made up on the spot tbh.

Dave must have been really desperate for contestants.
