I witnessed Alex Wilson change the icon size to large; he did this with ease and showed no struggle.  He then changed the font size with ease, but he struggled to change the background to red but did it in the end, so he completed all the activity. He completed all tasks set within 3-4 minutes so it was not that hard of a challenge for him.
