Do you know if there's a compilation of every departure time in TAR history?
Someone said that they measured how great a team was by the amount of time that they beat the second place teams by, and I had never considered that before.
In TAR14, Tammy & Victor departed leg 3 first at 10:13am and Mel & Mike departed second at 12:01pm. Tammy & Victor departed episode 12 first at 9:15pm and Margie & Luke departed second at 11:24pm. In both cases, Tammy & Victor started the previous legs/episodes in second or worse place and ended up with huge leads without using a fast forward.
The only problem with using departure times are possible production errors, like in leg 8 of TAR14, where they said that Tammy & Victor departed first at 9:27pm and Jaime & Cara departed second at 12:31am.

Try a combinaton of the book "My Ox is Broken" for races 1 to 9 and the new book "Circumnavigating the Globe: Amazing Race 10 - 14 and Amazing RAce Asia 1 - 3" for the rest. That will get you about 98% of deaparture times, but there is at least one episode that did ont give them.

Which penalty is harder? Speed Bump, 30-min or the strip your clothes and money off penalty?
PS: By harder, I mean which is more likely to get eliminated on the next leg

Basing it on statistics (correct me if I'm wrong :funny:), the 30-minute penalty "eliminated" around 57.1% of the teams that finished last after being saved the previous leg, followed by the Speed Bump (44.4%), no penalty (28.6% -- wow :funny:) & the begging (33.3%, 11.1% & 0% separately, counting all begging penalties as one, 12.5%).

Yes, Season 13 Episode 10 did not give the departure times (I have no idea why). But that's the only one I can think of.
