RFF TAR 16 pick-em game
mswood:
Sorry G-Man apparently I only read half your message. I am looking into #3 as I type this.
Well the game shows that No is the option awarded 5 points. Let me see if others also don't have any results for this question.

G-man
By any chance might you have not clicked one of the options (its the only thing I can think of), as it appears that it's the one question without all 24 people with an answer.
On this (since it isn't me forgetting to assign a point value or assigning the point value to the wrong option) I have no way of changing the results.

I have to bring this up one last time because I have not seen a resolution to the question.
When Dan and Jordan arrive at the Pit Stop -- which has always meant as long as TAR has been running on the air that this (the Pit Stop) is the end of the race for that episode -- Phil says "you are team number five" and when Brent and Caite arrive he says "you are team number six." So how can you reconcile the answer you say is correct that Dan and Jordan are the sixth team to arrive at the pit stop? In all your previous games you have you have used this expression "which team is first to arrive at the Pit Stop?" to mean who won the race? Finally when teams leave the Pit Stop in tonight's episode, Brent and Caite will be leaving in sixth position, not in the third position and Dan and Jordan will be leaving in the sixth position and not in the fifth position.

Sorry G-Man
I thought I had already addressed this issue. But he question was:
5 Points - Which team is 6th to arrive at the Pit Stop?
And actually I have often used three type of questions for getting to the Pit Stop:
Here is examples from just this season's questions.
10 Points - Which team is the first to check into the Pit Stop?
to
15 points - Which team is the first to arrive at the Pit Stop?
and one that I used to use more of
10 points - Which team is first to arrive at the mat?
And to show that they don't mean the same here are some examples from just this seasons games.
From Ep#1 the same week
15 points - Which team is the first to arrive at the Pit Stop?
5 points - Is that team the first to official check into the Pit Stop?
And here are some more from this season
Ep#2
10 points - Which team is the last to reach the Pit Stop?
and on the same game
5 points - Is that team eliminated?
Meaning that even on an elimination leg the last person to reach the Pit Stop might not be the team eliminated (for example in season 13, episode 3) Kelly & Christy are the last team to arrive at the Pit Stop, but they aren't eliminated because Mark & Bill are the last team to be able to check into the Pit Stop.
So arrive doesn't equal check in. Now in some weeks all I use is arrive, and in those so far it has also matched the Check into Pit Stop (so there hasn't been any discussion). But it always refers to getting to Phil, not getting checked in by Phil.
In most cases the answers for arrive at Pit Stop and check into the Pit Stop are going to be the same. Heck even in cases of teams having to go back its' on occasion been the same (see All Stars episode 3, when D&K arrive at the Pit Stop in 4th have to leave to find the cluebox come back and still are in fourth, just as happened to Brent & Caite in the 1st french leg where they arrived in 6th, had to leave to get a clue and came back still in sixth.
The only one that would really make me think is season 15 when Zev & Justin arrived in first, checked in in first but had to go back to the mat and told they in fact have to go get their material before being allowed to continue with the race (and would no longer be considered 1st).
Or for that matter in that same episode. Sam & Dan arrive in 2nd, are checked in 2nd but because of Zev & Just officially awarded 1st.
