They then knew they hd to make up a great loss of time, and thus beat them. The task the Detectives have to complete then is the Speed Bump, and thus, they ARE in 3rd once they hit their Speed Bump.
I think they can't be 4th, no matter how you see it.

But just after that you have a screen title saying that Dan and Jordan are in THIRD place, so that indicates that the cops are now in FOURTH. So did they lose the position by just doing nothing? And after Phil does all the intro to the Speed Bump, the editing cuts back to the brothers reading their Roadblock clue and are labled to be in Third. So it is just a matter of how the editing is going on. Obviously they did not show what was going on simultaneously by both teams, so for all we know Dan and Jordan actually opened their clue first. And as someone pointed out above, the Speed Bump is an extra task not part of the main stream of action so the team doing a Speed Bump is not actually part of the main stream and has no actual place in the race. And since Dan and Jordan are now Third, that means the Cops are Fourth. It is a confusing situation so I think that to be fair to all both Third and Fourth are correct answers.

Cops are third, however they have to complete the Speed Bump. BEFORE getting to the Speed Bump, the cops are in third, (that is the question we needed to answer), and the bros are in last. Then, the bros pass them because they do not need to complete the Speed Bump. I think it should be counted as they are in 3rd and not 4th, but this leads to disagreement.

THIS WEEK
400 Points Up for grabs. Who will win the Amazing Race, more importantly who will be able to brag about kicking all of our collective asses until the start of season 17.
I am working on the questions as we speak they will be up either late, late tonight or tomorrow.
