That's an arithmetic mistake. 26/3 = 8.6667

I'll fix it. Thanks.
That's what happens when you try to watch the Closing Ceremonies and Cold Case at the same time.

With teams being spoon feed more information on what needs to get done then previous years. The one primary difference has been the increased use of the final task being more mental then physical. And the race for the most part isn't strength based, endurance based sure, but that is completely different from physical strength. It is also something that has been lessoned now that the race is typically 6 -7 days shorter then it was with seasons 1 -11.

Most people would be ignoring the fact that other than the "vague clues" teams received on Seasons 1-4 (clues that never fooled anyone), the tasks were overall much easier than they are now. The Detours themselves should prove this. I can't be the only one whose noticed that they no longer give the short and scary/long and safe choice anymore, and that teams actually have to work at most Detours now instead of getting to do quick thrill tasks six or seven times a season. You take teams with current strategical knowledge and have them run the first four courses as they were, people would be complaining about the lack of challenge.
And as far as I can tell, Season 10 is still considered the hardest course.
