Anyways... I think this question is... Awkwardly phrased.



Right now, the question asks:
1. The time Meghan and Cheyne arrive
2. The time they depart the pit stop.

Right now, the question's answer is: Yes, it is a standard 12 hour pit stop, or No, it is not a standard 12 hour pit stop, which doesn't really answer the question. Shouldn't the answer just be a Yes or No?

Well it should have been worded, "Does Phil state both the time that Meghan & Cheyne arrived at and departs from the Pit Stop".  Or words to that effect.

The only aspect of the choices that are important are the Yes or No.  The additional info was added in case anyone didn't understand the question as Phil normally only gives out both times when the duration of a Pit Stop is normal (though it has happened with a 36 hour pit stop as well).

I haven't carefully watched the episode yet for fine points like the Name calling one, but if its in one shot and the first one then it would count.  I wasn't paying attention.  I thought I heard a Cheyne...Cheyne earlier in the episode (before the guys started freaking out) but will see.

And I so did terrible, this week.  Absolutely terrible.  I took a long shot to make try and gain a lot, but boy did that backfire.

Well if my answers are correct, Peach scored the 2nd lowest score of the week.  And of course who had the worst score of the week?  Well that would be me.  I officially can't believe I changed my answers in the last half hour (stupid).

But did anyone do good enough to beat Peach???  Hooky, it wasn't your best week.

But If (IF0 I am right, you smoked her ass.....  And it better hold because I need those ten points.

Wow. I never knew the Trotters can arrive both in 3rd AND 4th place.



Don't you mean Brian and Ericka?

It's correct (thanks for the 10 points, I need all I can get, but could you pick one that hardly anyone else gets next time?).

Where did the penultimate question on your rundown above come from?  I did not find it on the "official" game page?  The question about other teams being at the pit stop at the same time. Are you giving out 15 points for an imaginary question and answer?

Yep, I didn't see that one, either.

And mswood, one more thing: Thanks a ton for that 25 point question! All but 6 people got it and one of those 6 was peach! :yess:
