Extraordinary Moments from Champs

This year was the first time I went to champs and it was in short, amazing.
Many awesome things happened during the competition, but not all of them were directly related to the competition. A lot of great moments happened outside of competition, whether it was during the innovation fair, or in random places in St. Louis.

I thought I'd share my awesome moment.

On our way back from the competition venue, most of my strategy team got into one part of the train car on the St. Louis train system and sat down next to a random guy. While we were discussing what kind of alliance strategy would get us to win Curie, a few of us noticed the guy messing around with some pens and a paper. We didn't really mind it and kept talking.
After a bit, the guy gets up to leave and hands the paper he was messing around on to our mentor Joe, and says something like "this is for your keeping."
We were absolutely confused at first. It was just a bunch of scribbles. But then we turned it horizontally and saw us from his perspective.
We spent the next twenty minutes amazed and baffled. We completely forgot what we had been talking about before.

This is us from his perspective:

This is the awesome drawing:
https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...2a&oe=57E026A2

It was absolutely amazing. Even now I'm still in awe. The artist has a lot of skill, and we never expected a random guy on the train to do something like that.
Unfortunately, not everyone was drawn in. The guy who is facing away from the camera whose hoodie says "Piotr" doesn't appear in the drawing.

Let's hear some awesome stories that you guys have that happened outside of comps!
