EP 11: The Final Push
apskip:
neobie, that is a brilliant analysis. For Rachel, Christina and Nicholas it would have been incredibly stressful and hard to keep the order of the logic clear. They would have tended to solve individual rules, but not look at the necessary order of the elimination or inclusion process. I am not surprised that it took them all well over one hour to solve.
My hats are off to Bertram van Munster and Elise Doganieri. This is what the Amazing Race promised with AR1, episode 1("The Smoke that Thunders") but seldom has been since. A difficult but relevant puzzle about the objects encountered in AR12 was a master stroke, equal to AR8's map challenge.

Good analysis :jumpy:
But lets keep one thing straight: it is not a TEACUP, rather it is a Chinese SOUPBOWL. Chris never called it a teacup when Ron and she arrived at the teahouse, she just said "its hot"
So in order to reach the THREE animals or animal products it must contain something like Chicken or Beef broth!

Was there anything in the rules saying that one item couldn't satisfy multiple category requirements - if so then the chicken could be an animal in addition to a Pit Stop accessory (along with the cleaning man and camel milk). I think the tea was there to fill the every leg requirement, along with the Blackberry.

That was the Best. Roadblock. Evah! And the very best last task to complete the race. When we saw this at Stitch on Sunday, everyone was commenting how the task was challenging and hard and would bunch the teams together. It served its purpose and also forced the teams to give really go back and think about their previous tasks and countries.
If you saw the webclips on CBS.com, you will have noticed Rachel jotting things into her notebook while drinking beer at the Taipei International Airport. And she had a feeling the last task would involve something similar to what we saw on Sunday. Her notes definitely helped her out. The moral of the story, always remember what you did because you may be asked at the end to recall your steps. Great stuff and it will be hard to equal this in future years.

I'm pretty sure Phil said there was only 1 solution for the box to open. Don't remember how he worded it but he said there were several combinations but only one was right.
