When I saw the title, I originally thought of:

I think the above is a more interesting challenge. Particularly because there is a magical point where the kids or even adults realize that they just have to start playing with the spaghetti - can't just stare at it.

The more interesting part of that is that, next to engineers, kindergardeners are the best performing group at the marshmallow challenge. [1]

It would be delightful if the secret undercurrent of that game is that *someone always eats the marshmallow", and the importance of the exercise is in who eats the marshmallow, when it is eaten, and how everyone reacts.
