I can't make fun of Eric for spelling, because I suck at it.
I actually felt a little ssorry for him. He had wrote down the letters he saw, and he looked at the pictures (including the correct one), but he didn't see the "H" on the pen and thus didn't have the letters for it. SOmeone on another board said, well if he had the Q then he should automatically have figured it out. But according to the show there were extra letters, so for all he knew the "Q" could have been an extra letter.
Though, I will say, unless there was additional info restricting this. I would have just wrote down each location and then show the guard until I got I right.
Nobody tried this, so I would almost say their had to be a some restriction on it.
Or almost everyone who didn't figure it out immediately (like the BQ,s and Mary) are idiots.
Slowhatch:
That was Joyce; Eric wrote down Aquarium.
I couldn't cap the whole instruction sheet, but there was probably something in there--going to the back of the line, etc.--to prevent people doing multiple guesses.
This cap from Mirna is curious. I've found Sky Airline (but the webpage won't load) and of course LAN chile--but there doesn't seem to be any flights matching those numbers. Of course, things could have changed in the last 3 months.

MSWOOD, I think you've solved the puzzle with your last sentence. The racers may be the most interesting of all Amazing Racers, but nobody ever claimed that they were the brightest. The clue as I understood it directed them to look at the items on the wall and then work with the letters from the things around the table. What related to letters on the items on the wall? Only nameplates with names spelled out. I would have written down all 9 of the nameplates (only Mary did this if I remember correctly; will wonders never cease?) and then began the letter comparison against them to rule them in or out when enough letters indicated that.
