Question Bank: What to ask Racers at TARcon
« on: November 05, 2007, 01:53:55 AM »
I just wanted to have a place to store the little nagging questions so we don't forget to ask.  I always forget.



Question 1.1

For the first leg, when did the teams know they had to find the tiny church?  Was it given in the first clue envelop or did it fall into their hands at a later unaired point in the leg?

how long did they have to keep the chicken with them? ie, how many hours roughly did leg 4 last? hard to tell from the edit. did they have any problems or fun with their chickens od did they have to feed them at some point? Last, what happened to their chickens?
always remember....when life hands you lemons, ask for tequila and salt and call me over!

How long was the pitstop following the Bingo episode? Was it 24 hours as I believe? Was it 23? 22?

patlini, I think we got a part answer to this in the Lithuania episode. Teams could only buy at airports or authorized airline ticket offices. In mosat countries they can also buy at travel agents, but there must be some issue with them in Ouagadougou. The Internet was definitely excluded from making reservations and having later ticketing at an airline ticketing office.

What happened to TRAKAI??

Peach, that may be a good question, but I would like to supplement it with much more specific questions about Trakai:

1. Was there a Fast Forward opportunity available in the clue obtained there(which obviously nobody took if so)?
2. Did the main clue say "Go to St. Anne's Church" or
3. Was there some task at Trakai and what was it?

The blonds answer some of those questions here in this interview .

They took out an entire part. We were supposed to go to Trakai Castle. We got there and none of that was shown and the reason why was because when we got to Trakai Castle the clue said that there was a Fast Forward. No teams chose the Fast Forward and we didn’t choose the Fast Forward for an obvious reason – we were an hour and a half or two hours lost. We were the last team to get to the Trakai Castle. So, by no means were we going to take a 200 mile drive when we thought other teams had already taken it. We thought for sure another team had utilized it. And they didn’t.

And the first clue did not say go to St. Anne's--it said go to Trakai Water Castle and search the grounds for your next clue... which was apparently the FF clue...

The blonds are probably a bit off. There is no way that a Fast Forward clue would send teams 200 miles away, which would put the team taking it way behind all other teams. If advantages of Fast Forwardds in recent years have been steadily reduced, but they have not gone to certain elimination if you choose it.

In this video, Phil tells us about the Fast Forward in Lithuania, they were going to be suspended under a helicopter but he never says exactly where the fast forward was to take place at.

This one is for TK and Rachel - You were the only team caught in the flight delay from Vilnius to Prague on Thursday July 19. This resulted in your missing your connection from Prague to Vienna and you instead had to take an alternate routing.

1. Was that alternate route OK818 from Prague to Zagreb departing PRG at noon arriving ZAG 130pm and then OU662 departing ZAG 245pm arriving Dubrovnik 340pm?
2. Did you meet any Amazing Race Asia 2 teams as they were coming into Prague airport that morning to take Malek 821 departing PRG 1010 arriving Budapest 1115?
