Speculation on TAR16 *no wish-lists please*
Xarles:
Speculating on the gap between Bariloche, Argentina and Malaysia/Singapore: There were probable sightings in both Asuncion, Paraguay and Sao Paulo, Brazil. None of those cities, Bariloche, Asuncion and Sao Paulo, are far from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Checking on Buenos Aires Ezeiza Airport (EZE) I found out Malaysia Airlines (MAS/MH) flies from there to Kuala Lumpur (KUL), Malaysia and even offers a connecting flight to Kota Kinabalu (BKI) from EZE on Wednesdays and Sundays. As teams were previously surprised with a Bolivia-New Zealand leg, this one seems like a more exotic one. Lets suppose they were in either Asuncion/Sao Paulo/Buenos Aires and then were asked to go to Kota Kinabalu! Easy: Malaysia Airlines flight MH202 departed EZE at a very confy time: 21:45 on Wednesday December 9th and after stopping in Cape Town & Johannesburg (both in South Africa) they arrived in KUL at 06:20 on December 11th just in time to connect with flght MH2604 departing KUL at 07:30 arriving BKI at 10:05. This may have put the teams in Malaysia on December 11 early morning without any other legs having been run in either Europe or Africa.
Malaysia Airlines departed Buenos Aires on the following dates:
December Sun 06 Wed 09 Sun 13
Arrived in Kuala Lumpur:
December Tue 08 Fri 11 Tue 15
Malaysia Airlines
Buenos Aires (EZE) To Kuala Lumpur (KUL)
Wed & Sun 21:45 06:20+2days MH202 Boeing 747-400 2 STOPS

interesting. But let's remember that the kota kinabalu spec began with a post that almost certainly referred to a someone saying she was running her own amazing race as she did all her errands. :groan:
I think we need Africa and maybe even Australia in there. I am keeping the faith. :xmas49

I agree with you, but this would put Phil on the right time at Penang, Malaysia, next door country to Singapore, directly out of South America.
georgiapeach:
I think you come out short on some legs though, but really, we don't know so spec away!
We also have 5 continents per Macaroons. ;)

Speculating here:
If there are five continents, unless they go to Antarctica, they have to choose 5 of the following 6:
Oceania
Asia
Europe
Africa
North America
South America
Obviously they started in North America. They were sighted in South America and in Asia. Which means that two out of Oceania, Europe and Africa must also be selected.
So I think they either went NA -> SA -> Africa -> Oceania -> Asia -> NA OR they did NA -> SA -> Europe/Africa -> Africa/Europe -> Asia -> NA
Just speculating, but I hope this makes some sense. :cmas5
