So I have another idea on TLC challenge (I think paper chromatography should also be allowed if one don't have those plates)
It's like this:
1. Obtain 1 otc product
2. Extract as many types of chemicals as possible from the product using at most 2 miscible solvents (if some extracted chemicals in
the product somehow made 2 immiscible solvents become 1 layer then that's also allowed)
3. Run a TLC
4. The plate with the most variety (may be subjected to objective interpretation) of spots (spots only visible under UV also allowed) wins
Any views?

If you want to organise a competition, look at previous successful ones, come up with a plan and run it.
There are several comps on at the moment so I would recommend sitting on your ideas for a few months and refining them before acting.
