Omg, can someone tell me which season and episode this was from?

Season 15, episode in czech republic (one when there was a non-el.), roadblock in the theatre

Further clarification on the Roadblock: Find a tiny mandolin under the theater seats.

[DrRox]

I thought it was a tiny violin.

[Mandoli]

I thought it was a tiny violin.

Nope. Mandolin. I remember commenting on the choice of instrument the night the episode aired.

I have such a strange memory. Forgot most of what I learned in school, but was able to recite the TV Guide channel at three. Don't ask.

If you ever find the game for Bada (OS of the Samsung Wave) I'd be pleased if you could say so in this thread. Thanks a lot. I just hope they do it for that one!

[Cocoa]

Can you list the tasks/locations like the Race Summary in Wikipedia? Just curious

[AmazingRace]

The location varies from game to game. The tasks are pretty much the same. I don't know how to Wikipedia it though. 

CASH OUT - In Cash Out, you are supposed to calculate the total value of the notes and coins shown on the screen, and choose 1 correct answer out of the 4 options.

CLOSE-UP - In Close-Up, you are supposed to find the section of the picture that contains the close-up(shown on the left). Each mistake gives you a penalty.

CONNECTION - This challenge tests your connectivity. Using 4 given sections, choose the correct one out of 4, to find the missing connecting piece in the puzzle.

FAST FORWARD(Challenge) - Answer these questions about Landmarks and Geography. Score 3+ points to earn a 2-hour time bonus.

MATCHING - Match the correct pictures with another of the same picure to win this challenge.

PATHFINDER - In Pathfinder, find your destination by taking all of the turns in your path.

PLATES - Clean these stacks of dirty plates until you find the plates that contain the indicated symbol. Teams are allowed to change plates at any time.

RALLY - Follow all the rally directions to find your final destination. Skip any step that you cannot complete.

RUSH HOUR - This task tests your mathematical ability and speed. Count the number of vehicles of the types that are displayed above. Then solve the equation using the given operators.

SCALES - Using three given scales, find the heaviest object.

SKYDIVING - Count to the target time and then open your parachute. The closer your time, the better your result.

SNAPSHOT - Pick out the matching snapshots from the moving conveyor belts. After 3 errors, the snapshots are hidden.

Back to the TOPIC!!!!!

Yeah I bought it yesterday.

I think the best place to talk about it would be:

http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,21057.0.html

[Glamazon Racer]

I bought the iPod Touch Version and I played 2 times. I have done extremely well, although I do admit, I played on 'EASY' difficulty on both occasions.

My first run was with the 'Rockers' Cat & Ingrid:

Leg 1: Santiago, CHILE -> Honolulu, USA (1st place)

Leg 2: Honolulu, USA -> Nassau, BAHAMAS (1st place)

Leg 3: Nassau, BAHAMAS -> Moscow, RUSSIA (1st place)

Leg 4: Moscow, RUSSIA -> Cape Town, SOUTH AFRICA (1st place)

Leg 5: Cape Town, SOUTH AFRICA -> Beijing, CHINA (2nd place - that darn Military team beat me by two minutes!!! )

Leg 6: Beijing, CHINA -> Auckland, NEW ZEALAND (5th place - I guess it's safe to assume I misread the instructions on the Roadblock... )

Leg 7: Auckland, NEW ZEALAND -> Dubai, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES (1st place)

Leg 8: Dubai, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES -> Delhi, INDIA (1st place)

Leg 9: Delhi, INDIA -> Stockholm, SWEDEN (1st place)

Leg 10: Stockholm, SWEDEN -> Cairo, EGYPT (1st place)

Leg 11: Cairo, EGYPT -> Santiago, CHILE (1st place - $1,000,000!!! HOORAY!!!!) (The Students? F/F team came second by about 15 minutes, and the third team was about 7 hours behind, lol! )

My second attempt was with the Gothic team, 'Cassandra & Vincent':

Leg 1: Cairo, EGYPT -> Stockholm, SWEDEN (1st place)

Leg 2: Stockholm, SWEDEN -> Honolulu, USA (1st place)

Leg 3: Honolulu, USA -> Mexico City, MEXICO (4th place - the first time I tried 'Tomatina', I did VERY poorly! )

Leg 4: Mexico City, MEXICO -> Buenos Aires, ARGENTINA (1st place)

Leg 5: Buenos Aires, ARGENTINA -> London, ENGLAND (1st place)

Leg 6: London, ENGLAND -> Bangkok, THAILAND (1st place)

Leg 7: Bangkok, THAILAND -> Sydney, AUSTRALIA!!!! (1st place - I have to win in my home city, lol )

Leg 8: Sydney, AUSTRALIA -> Nairobi, KENYA (3rd place - I picked a bad flight to save some money for the last three legs)

Leg 9: Nairobi, KENYA -> Beijing, CHINA (1st place)

Leg 10: Beijing, CHINA -> Rome, ITALY (1st place)

Leg 11: Rome, ITALY -> Cairo, EGYPT (1st place - $1,000,000 - Cat & Ingrid came second by just six minutes! Third place was the Military Couple and they were about 45 minutes behind)

Well, I guess it's safe to say that I mastered 'Easy' level! Tomorrow it's time to give the 'HARD' one a crack! I'm sure I won't win 9/11 legs on that difficulty!

I think that the game is pretty decent. I'm very disappointed that they aren't releasing an Australian version on Wii, as I was looking forward to it, but the iPod Game is fun too!

My favorite element is the unpredictability of the NEL legs. In my first attempts, the NELs were in Leg 3 (9 teams) and Leg 6 (7 teams), whereas my second attempt placed the NELs in Leg 6 (6 teams) and Leg 9 (4 teams).

I just wish there were some U-Turns or at least some Yields, as that would certainly make things more interesting! Also, you can claim BOTH Fast Forwards in this game, and sometimes, you still do a Detour/Roadblock afterwards.

Sorry for the extremely long post guys! Have a Merry Christmas and enjoy The Amazing Race and this game!
