one end of a rod of steel getting warmer while the other end gets cooler
green food coloring diffusing through cookie dough
people arranging 80 cans into a pyramid

Since in endothermic reactions, enthalpy change is positive, and also in this question you mentioned that entropy change is negative, so simply by putting the values in Gibbs-free equation
ΔG = ΔH - TΔS
when ΔS is negative and enthalpy change(ΔH since reaction is endothermic) is positive, ΔG will always be positive, when ΔG is smaller than zero the reaction is spontaneous, but in this case ΔG is bigger than zero, so the answer would be: nonspontaneous at equilibrium
for the second question the answer is: green food coloring diffusing through cookie dough
the reason that other answers are wrong is that you are not creating any disorder in any of those mentioned activities, on contrary you are arranging them in an ordered way...
Hope I helped a bit :D
