Competitor, give Kisha and Jen a break. At least they didn't do a Mika right? :res:

Very true. Perhaps I was a little hard on them.

Do I agree the task was easy? Yes.
Do I think he made it way harder than it was supposed to be? Yes.
Should he have been able to solve the task? Most definitely.
Does that make him a complete idiot? Doubt it, I still believe he psyched himself out.

This was just one of those tasks that proved that Meghan and Cheyne were the only competent team that season.

Yeah...they got through it rather than squeal like a middle schooler!

"Olympic" sized swimming pools really only means that it is 50m long. Over the years the other dimenstions have changed. In times past, the outside lanes......1 and 8 had the side of the pool as a boundry. That has changed, due to the fact that the wave motion reflecting off the wall slows down the swimmers in those two lanes.....so they are wider now and have an extra lane outside Lane 1 and Lane 8. The depth has gotten deeper also for the same reason. The deeper the pool, the less the swimmers have to fight the reflected wave motion from the bottom of the pool.

In the 70's, my university built an "Olympic" sized pool for the use of the students. With the exception of the diving area, I can/could stand on the bottom anywhere in the pool. It was not made for inter-university competions.

Since it was fairly new, I dont doubt that the pool used in TAR 14 was over 7' deep. It was not the pool used for Olympic competion, but most assuredly was used for practice during the Olympics.

dont hate on TAR 14. at least it had a very diverse cast, and some character development of the teams made good tv. it might not be in top 5 seasons but is certainly the worst ): thats the reason that so many teams made it on unfinished business as well

FWIW, the best part about the Kafkablock was that the very first clue in that leg directed teams to a Kafka statue. Any team that took 30 seconds to stare at the weird statue would probably have blitzed through the task.  :snicker:

I'm still a little miffed over there not being anyone from TAR 13. It had a fairly strong cast that gets sort of forgotten due to its winners (who weren't even that bad, I thought). Any of the top 6 teams (save Nick/Starr for various reasons) could legitimately have been cast on UB.

Actually they had a rather weak cast... considering that bumblers Andrew/Dan made it to the final 3, and a lot of the other teams made mistakes...

the only people from tar 13 that would deserve to be in unifnished business are Toni & Dallas and Ken & Tina who were the only 2 entertaining teams

A part of the Kafka task people seem to forget is that each time racers made a guess they had to fill out a long form (an allegory to Kafka's bureaucratic nightmare), the task was designed to cause confusion.
The story so far:
In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move

Some people might find it easy and not distracting at all as a viewer, but as a racer, that will be stressful enough to make them confused (include the loud stamping of three big red X's and scary serious men at the side)

The task was definitely designed to mess with the team members' minds. Only Meghan excelled at it.

Because she is used to messing with Cheyne's mind.

Start with the letter that comes first alphabetically, except the word can't possibly start with 'a', so move on to the next letter: f
Combo 1: FANRZ
Combo 2: FARNZ

and at that point, I would recognize FARNZ, but I guess that's just cause I'm a genius  :res:

So it should only take a few combos to figure it out, and if you're really smart, you'd wait until you've found an answer you're confident in

Literally 10 minutes, its not rocket science here



He was told that the word starts with an "F" there are four letters remaining right, another 4 possible combinations and there are like 16 words possible.

It would have taken 20 minutes to figure out.

redskooky, you're close, but the answer is 4!, or 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24 possible combinations of 5 letters beginning with F as the first letter. Those are:

FANRZ
FANZR
FARNZ
FARZN
FAZNR
FAZRN
FNARZ
FNAZR
FNRAZ
FNRZA
FNZAR
FNZRA
FRANZ
FRAZN
FRNAZ
FRNZA
FRZAN
FRZNA
FZANR
FZARN
FZNAR
FZNRA
FZRAN
FZRNA

The only one that makes sense as a real name is FRANZ.

Were the racers aware they were trying to decipher a name? Maybe they thought they had to look for an obscure, Czech word (assuming they paid no attention to the Kafka statue).
