I think the detour task STARTS with the donning of the gear, so bye bye points for me. Anytime you have to dress or undress or whatever...I can tell you that is part of the Detour clue itself.
--- End quote ---
The detour actually starts when the teams reach the "rock quarry" where they are to fill sandbags and build a protective bunker. But before they can reach the "rock quarry" which is behind a lowered gate the teams must don protective gear to proceed to the location of the detour. The gate is finally raised and we see Dan and Sam going through first. So the first team to reach the site of the detour which is the "rock quarry" is Sam and Dan.
The clue on the base of the ROAMING gnome says: Blast: Fill sand bags and build a protective bunker in a rock quarry. The teams obviously get a lot more information such as how to reach the rock quarry, etc. etc. and this must be given to them after they get the ROAMING gnome since there is no room on the bottom of the gnome for all those papers later seen in the hands of the team.
mswood:
I am still leaning the other way on that question.
I am getting ready to check out an old thread and see how I treated teams getting into customs for Detours, and if I counted that as the start of the detour or not (still looking for safety equipment, the only one I remember off the top of my head is a roadblock).
But if I do pick your way G-Man, I think that will kill another question. As we never see when Meghan & Cheyne or Flight Time and Big Easy get to the work area. THe first time we see them we see them together.
So this question then has no correct answer.
10 Points - Which team loses the most placings completing the Detour??
Sam & Dan
Meghan & Cheyne
Flight Time & Big Easy
Gary & Matt
Brian & Ericka
More then one team
None, they each start and finish in the same order
NOt even the none since we can't see when those two teams did in fact start.
mswood:
I am making an executive decision (and it doesn't benefit me at all), I am counting getting to the safety gear to be the start of the Detour task.
And just so we know here were my choices.
10 points - Which team is the first to get to the Detour?
0 points - 12 people answered this question - Sam & Dan
0 points - 3 people answered this question - Meghan & Cheyne
0 points - 2 people answered this question - Flight Time & Big Easy
0 points - 1 people answered this question - Gary & Matt
0 points - 1 people answered this question - Brian & Ericka
10 Points - Which team loses the most placings completing the Detour?
0 points - 1 people answered this question - Sam & Dan
0 points - 5 people answered this question - Meghan & Cheyne
0 points - 4 people answered this question - Flight Time & Big Easy
0 points - 1 people answered this question - Gary & Matt
0 points - 1 people answered this question - Brian & Ericka
0 points - 3 people answered this question - More then one team
0 points - 5 people answered this question - None, they each start and end in the same position
I wil have this graded and scored in about an hour.
ANd I am basing this off of the clue for the Russian Detour. As their needing the uniform is in (at the very least) the extra info provided, its the folded out pages that Dandrew reads that points that out.
