I want to trace the logistics timing for getting to Oman from Pune. Teams reach the Pune pitstop from about 1030 to 1130 a best I reckon. They should be released 12 hours later, but it is possible that it is an extended pitstop. They should be released 2230 to 2330 if I am roughly correct. The next Pune to Mumbai train for the leading teams is departing 2330 arriving Mumbai CST 0345. The one after departs 0040 arriving at 0450. In both cases it is slightly more than 4 hours. Teams then have to make their way to any task that they must do in Mumbai. Then they must hurry to the airport for a BOM BAH  GF57  0725 0850, connecting in Bahrain to BAH MCT GF552 0950 1220.

One question you have to ask is why teams would want to take the train. They could have waited at Pune airport for the PNQ BOM  IT3171   0600 0635. The only reason I can thnk of is a task in central Mumbai.

On the 1st day, Sam got a red T-shirts.


On the 2nd day, Sam, the driver, got a light blue T-shirts.


So this task is on the 1st day. The sun is setting.


2nd day, in the morning. Hours of operation again.


2nd day, Sam got a clue.

Wouldn't it make sense if these were all taken in one day.  The Geoff and Tish pic may have been taken during the early morning and the Sam and Vince pic later at about noon time.  If these were taken during the second day maybe that's how AD and Fuzzie were able to catch up.

^I meant the pics were taken on the same day. Not separately on the afternoon of first day for first pic and morning of second day for second pic.

On second thought, i think you and banzai are right.  I examined the preview again.  The first pic may be when they all arrived at the clue box late in the afternoon of the first day.  They had to wait till the next day to perform the task and so gave AD and Fuzzie the chance to catch up. 

The second pic taken the next day when sam had changed into a light blue shirt as banzai pointed out.

Janet, a more likely explanation for how AD/Fuzzie were able to catch up involves getting on the same plane with the others from Mumbai to Muscat.

Could be a Roadblock. Ida is walking toward Tania.
It's a long distance to Tania so Tania is waiting for Ida. Therefore Ida is doing the Roadblock.
That's on the 2nd day. She changed her red T-shirts to a white tank.

Since we have two hours of operations, one of them has to be in India. If both of them are in Oman, then it doesn't make sense.

It's like this.


June 3rd at the Pune pitstop.


June 3rd: Ida & Tania were released at night in India. It's hours of operation so they wait.


June 4th: next morning, teams take a train from Pune to Mumbai. It's about an hour trip.

June 4th: in Mumbai, teams fly to Muscat, Oman.


June 4th, 5PM, hours of operation again.


June 4th, 6PM. The sun is starting to set down. Teams wait for A.D. & Fuzzie to finish their searching task.

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/astronomy.html?n=169&month=6&year=2008&obj=sun&afl=-11&day=1
June 4th, sunset is around 6:50PM.


June 5th, morning, teams drive to the zip line task.

That's 3 days, from June 3rd to the 5th.

Do you have any morning flight on June 4th?

It's like this.


June 3rd, 1030AM-1130AM, at the Pune pitstop.


June 3rd, Ida & Tania should be released between 2230 to 2330.
It's hours of operation so they wait.

June 4th, 6AM, the shop/place opens.



June 4th, 6:30AM, take a train from Pune to Mumbai. The trip is about one hour.

Any flight after 7:30AM, June 4th?  :duno:



June 4th, by the time they get to Oman, it's in the evening. The sun is setting down and it's hours of operation again.  :tup:

Banzai,

Here are the Mumbai to Muscat flight options:

WY806 0645 0745 - clearly the best if teams can get to Mumbai airport in time; not included previously because reasonable flight connection from Pune not possible

GF057 / GF552 - shown previously; this gets in at 1220

IT3127 / WY876  - 1200 1345 BOM JAI connecting with 1450 1550 JAI MCT

That's it. Any other possibilities are essentially just variations of the second or third combinations above.

Banzai:
All nonstop flights are approximately 2.5 hours. There is a time zone difference of 1.5 hours (India is one half hour off what you might think, whether you look at it from the west or east). When combined with the apparent (not real) difference in departure and arrival times of about 1 hour, that gives you the 2.5 hours flight duration. You're flying across the northern part of the Indian Ocean almost the whole way.

so it means that ida and tania were the first one to arrive in the place coz in the preview they said some first thing hehehe!!!
