If we take it further, lets remove all switches and routers from the
network. We could then just be left with a single hub. Hopefully then even I
would be able to pass the lab!!

I would think the far simpler solution WITHOUT disabling spanning tree
(which
wasn't part of the criteria of the question) is:
DISCONNECT THE SWITCH FROM THE REST OF THE NETWORK.
No disabling spanning tree. It can never become the root for the VLAN.
Problem solved.
Alternative solution? Disable the VLAN on that switch.

PS. Can't wait until I do the lab! (-:
