EP13: "Low to the Ground, That's My Technique."
Chateau d If:
And there is this:
Trading Places anyone?
And they don't go back to this taxi after all. They are shown getting a big yellow SUV thing after the Mint. And that is located also near the Powell/Hyde terminus! ???

Let me mention something that has bothered me. My analysis of timing had Eric/ Danielle arriving at the mat at 815am. Chateau's analysis shows them there at 903am or slightly later. This supports the "missing task in SF" hypothesis. I could be wrong by about 48 minutes due to having to wait for the camera/sound crew to get off the airplane and set up (I assumed a new crew took over), but even that is unlikely to have taken half that time.
A further issue is that Mirna/Charla complaining about their Oakland airport taxi driver not knowing San Francisco does not ring true. My guess is that virtually all OAK cabbies know downtown San Francisco qutie well as many of their fares go there. I think it is likely that a "missing task" might have accounted for the 15 minute late arrival that Mirna/Charla had at the Old Mint. Any walking task would put them at a big disadvantage. Charla's wheelies would not be very effective up hills and they would be unsafe down hills.
Another thing that bothers me is why Charla/Mirna had to do significant repositioning to find the entrance to Strybing Arboretum, as shown in one of the Insider clips. Did their second cab driver screw up that badly in taking them there that they were on the wrong side to get in?
It's so nice to know that TAR editors have shielded us from all this EXTRANEOUS information that had NOTHING to do with the finish of TAR11! This used to be a show where you could trust that you were getting the straight story on TV, but those days are long gone.
Chateau d If:
I have a better time for the BQs completion of the Mint task
This shot was taken between 8:45 and 8:49 am on December 17th.
The shadow just ahead of the word "STOP" on the pavement comes from, not the Mint building but the next one to the east.

Chateau d If:
This shot was just before the running shown above. So it is safe to use the same time:
This shot was taken between between 8:45 and 8:49 am on December 17th.
The thing to note is the shadow on the building across the street. It is one window away from the iron balcony.

Chateau d If:
This shot was taken between 8:50 and 8:55 am on December 17th.
Now the shadow is two windows away from the iron balcony
