If intended act happens (improbable due to distance), G24 upgrades to a Red Card and Disable (strategic action), and the stack still counts (3.1.2, second paragraph).

Just playing devils advocate here -- what if a human player throws litter to the opposing side of the field which then contacts their stack and causes it to tip over?

Yes, I realize this would be incredibly unlikely given the momentum of the litter. Then again, I've seen some precarious barely-balanced stacks before.
