I think the most unusual seder we had was three years ago.  My husband was
just back from the hospital after having a major heart attack at 35
(due to stress, not cholesterol).

I invited two friends at the last minute (calling them up at an SF
convention--and nearly panicking them).

At the seder, my husband went out to wash his hands--and I went out to do
"something" in the kitchen--leaving the afikomen up for grabs.  However,
our guests hadn't seen my husband make and hide the afikomen--and thought
that perhaps it had slipped his mind.  So they grabbed a piece of matzo,
wrapped it in a spare napkin (the same type of napkin my husband had used)
and stuck half a matzo in it.  And then hid it.  Right next to the real one!

Come the end of the dinner, my husband strolled over to where he had hidden
the afikomen, expecting to find it missing.  And instead found it had
doubled!  We weren't sure which was the real afikomen, so we shared out
pieces of each among us.
