"The American Challenge" AKA "The Great American Challenge" is a race in which teams of four must drink 36 beers, smoke 2 grams of marijuana, eat two large pizzas and then make a 100 piece jigsaw puzzle, in that order. The team must fully complete one stage of the Challenge in order to start the next stage.

There must be a sober referee to prevent cheating, to keep time, and to issue penalties. There are penalties for throwing up, spilling beer and cheating. The nature of the penalty is left up to the referee, but it is usually some some time penalty. If a player spills beer or throws up they have the option of "Zamboni-ing" (sucking it up off the floor or table) the spilled liquid in order to avoid penalty. The winning team receives some sort of prize, as well as the honor of winning the race.

Traditionally, The American Challenge is held on the last day of finals week in college. Inevitably the building where the event is held is irreparably trashed.
Dude, are you gonna hold The American Challenge at your house this semester again?

Naw man, I'm still scraping beer plastered puzzle pieces off the floor from last semester.

A team a five must drink a 30-rack, a handle of vodka, smoke 5 grams of marijuana, eat 2 large pizzas, and then complete a 100 piece puzzle (in that order). The alcohol must be completed before continuing on to the weed, which must be completed before continuing on to the pizza, which must be completed before continuing on to the puzzle. If a team member spills or throws up, then one member of that team must either drink 1 additional beer, or 2 additional shots. The first team to finish wins eternal glory.
Bro #1: Hey man, are you down to try the American Challenge with Blazer, Lazer, Tazer, and I tonight?

Bro #2: Hell no man, last time I tried the American Challenge I woke up naked in the cafeteria with puzzle pieces stuck to my face.

A Competition, often held at the end of college finals week, in which teams of four attempt to first consume a 30 pack of beer, then an eighth of an ounce of marijuana, then two large pizzas, and then finish a 100 piece puzzle.

Penalties, usually time, are imposed for spilling beer or vomiting.

Variations on the rules exist:
The beer can be a 36 pack instead of a 30.
The amount of marijuana is sometimes reduced to 2 grams.
The puzzle is sometimes more pieces, depending on how long the participants want the competition to last.
Also, some competitions change the order of events to account for the Beer before bong rule (that's just wrong).

Another variation exists wherein the teams begin in the morning, can drink, smoke, and eat simultaneously, and then once everything has been consumed, may move on to a 1,000 piece puzzle. The teams have until midnight (or in some cases, sunrise of the next day) to complete the challenge. In this variation, the challenge is more geared toward "getting it done" than racing and can be performed by a single team of four if desired.

The "All American Challenge" is the ultimate test of patriotism. It involves four player teams and is played for time. Each player must help complete the following tasks: eat a large pizza, complete a 500 piece puzzle, drink 24 beers, and smoke twenty bucks worth of weed. Originally started in the Pacific Northwest, the game has grown steadily in popularity, and stands to spread across the nation.

Note: the tasks can be split between players or can be completed individually. Example: either one person can drink all 24 beers, or each player may choose to drink eight.

This is a challenge for all the Italians or Italian-looking people out there. Basically you have to score a threesome with an Italian girl (from Italy) and an American girl. The kicker is that you have to convince the American girl that you're Italian while convincing the Italian girl that you're American. Extra points if you get 'em both indabutt. The best strategy is to speak bad Italian and broken English and make sure the American girl doesn't know Italian and the Italian girl doesn't know much English. This is a tough one...any guy who pulls it off is generally awarded pimp of the year automatically.
Mac: "Hey Guido, I heard you were trying to pull off the Italian-American challenge last night. Did it work?"
Guido: "No."
Mac: "Ooooh, looks like you got denied on the pimp of the year award again."
