Thanks. I examined the presentation but I couldn't identify what was
at fault, but there is a workaround.

Here's what I found:

It wasn't because tables were used - I modified all of the tables to
shapes by ungrouping them, but the problem persisted.

I don't think it was because of the type of exit animation ("Light
Speed") because the problem exists before the first table actually
exits.

My best guess is that perhaps PPT can't handle a large number of
triggered animations or animation sequences when tables are used.

Fortunately there is a reasonable workaround for this particular
presentation. Instead of clicking on a table to dismiss it, the state
shape can be re-used to dismiss the table. I.e. trigger each exit
animation on a click of the state shape, instead of on a click of the
table. I've sent you a modified slide.
