Topic: RFF TAR 16 pick-em game

Actually I have scored something wrong on the game, let me find it as Peach at this point can't have 126 points.

I found where I screwed up, give me about another 10 minutes.

[chill_sd]

I'm definitely feeling the agony of defeat this week.  I just wonder how far I will have fallen off my perch. 

[Hooky]

Yuck. I blame it on the placement questions. Without them my score would have been better.

Yuck. I blame it on the placement questions. Without them my score would have been better.

Just be thankful I kept those at 5 points each....

Hey, the wife doesn't help me at all any more.
Someone (ahem, me) seems to be slowly climbing the leaderboard

[mswood]

Oops!!

[Caelestor]

I'm shocked that I managed to improve in placement.
The next jump's pretty big. I'll just wait till Shanghai for now.

[Hooky]

I'm still in fifth! But so much for keeping Peach behind me.

[mswood]

Sorry about the delay and in problems with the questions I am not at home and I'm doing this from iphone so it's taking forever, and god knows how many errors are here.

This weeks game.  Any problems let me know and I will fix at work tomorrow.  Good luck to everyone.

[Jobby]

I'm in 25th too.

[Caelestor]

"10 Points - Do all teams travel on the same flight?" Be specific. Do you mean out of Seychelles, into Malaysia, or both?

"10 Points - Which team is first showing seen in Malaysia (anywhere in Malaysia)?" Spelling fixed.

What is with all these placement questions?!

[kwando1313]

You wrote who walked down the STEEPS. (I think that's a typo...)

If at any time all teams are on the same flight it counts.  It doesn't have to be all flights (if teams take multiple, that would kill me)

Sorry I have been out of town for work and I haven't had any real chance to even read the spoiler thread (thats one of the few things that well sometimes 1st and last) that we don't know.  I wont be home until tonight or tomorrow morning and that was too late to look into the episode. 

[Hooky]

5 Points - Official Check in Steve & Allie are
Same as last week
Down 1 - 2 positions
down 3-4 positions
**** out of luck

You might want to include "Something Else" as an option for these ones too. What if it were a TBC leg? (I doubt it will be, but you never know.)

5 Points - When teams get to Malaysia to teams first have to find a general route marker, or is it one that (holds a task clue, roadblock, speedbump, detour, intersection,fast forward)?
General Route Marker
Task Marker

This one is kind of hard to understand. You're basically asking whether the first clue in Malaysia is a Route Info clue or if it's a task clue (Detour, RB, Speed Bump, Fast Forward), right?

10 Points -Jet & Cord must perform a speedbump. What position are they in when they start it?
1
2
3
4
5
6

Does starting it mean when Jet & Cord get the Speed Bump clue or is it when they arrive at the location and actually start performing the task?

[mswood]

Hooky some good chances.

On the question that are for teams "Officially checking into the Pit Stop" if there is a TBC Leg then no points.  I don't want to change the possible answers this late.



On this question.

10 Points -Jet & Cord must perform a speedbump. What position are they in when they start it?

Means when they start the task.

AS an example early this year Jordan & Jeff had a speedbump.  I would count the beginning of that task to be when they start getting dressed in military uniforms.


On this question

5 Points - When teams get to Malaysia to teams first have to find a general route marker, or is it one that (holds a task clue, roadblock, speedbump, detour, intersection,fast forward)?

Gawd was I drunk?

I will reward the question on the game to make it more clear.

It now reads:

5 Points - In Malaysia which comes first?
A General Route Marker
A Task marker (Roadblock, Detour, Intersection, Fast Forward, Speedbump, U-Turn)

[kwando1313]

Actually, is it supposed to say "How many teams choose (and attempt) to climb the steeps for their detour?", because steeps isn't a word...

[mswood]

Actually, is it supposed to say "How many teams choose (and attempt) to climb the steeps for their detour?", because steeps isn't a word...

It's been changed on the Game.

[DrRox]

"steeps" is a contraction for "step steps"

[georgiapeach]

Peach is going to retire from the game, and rest on her laurels.

I love this game, and hate to stop, but am suddenly too spoiled to play fairly, I think. I  last felt it necessary to pull out of the hotly contested sucks game at final 3 in Season 14 too, darn it all.

So y'all have fun, give mswood heck, and I'll be cheering you on from the sidelines!

[mswood]

 

[georgiapeach]

GO G-MAN!!!

[Caelestor]

Answers with (?) means I'm unsure.

10 Points - Which team states the title, "You're like Jason Bourne, right?"? Michael & Louie

10 Points - Do all teams travel on the same flight? Yes

10 Points - Which team is first shown in Malaysia (anywhere in Malaysia)? Split-second rush! I see Brent first, but if you want both people, then it's Jet/Cord. (?)

10 Points - Which team is first to get to the roadblock clue? Jet & Cord

10 Points - Do teams start and end the roadblock in the same order? No Yes (?)

10 Points - Which team is 3rd to complete the Roadblock? Carol & Brandy (?)

10 Points - Which team is first to get the Detour clue? Dan & Jordan

10 Points - How many teams choose (and attempt) to climb the steeps for their detour? 5

10 Points - How many teams switch detour tasks? 1

10 Points - Which team gains the most spots performing the Detour (which answer is the more accurate one)? Jet & Cord went from 6th to 1st (?)

10 Points - What team loses the most positions performing the detour (most accurate answer)?
Steve & Allie went from 3rd to 6th, but Dan & Jordan went from 1st to 5th (?)

10 Points - Which team is 2nd to finish the detour? Brent & Caite

10 Points -Jet & Cord must perform a speedbump. What position are they in when they start it? 1

10 Points - What position are Jet & Cord when they complete the Speedbump? 1

5 Points - Official Check in Steve & Allie are **** out of luck (6th)

10 Points - Dan & Jordan officially check in.. Down 3 (5th)

10 Points - Brent & Caite do official Check in Worse then last week

5 Points - Louie & Michael official check in... 3

5 Points - Carol & Brandy officially check in: Something else (2nd). Their best placement was 2nd in Leg 6, so they did not do better than before. They arrived 3rd in Leg 3. In both Leg 4 and 5, they arrived 5th.

10 Points - Jet & Cord get to Phil in 1

5 Points - Any Penalties this week (Speedbump doesn't count)? No

5 Points - In Malaysia which comes first? This was badly worded. I interpreted it as what teams had to do after finding their first route marker in Malaysia. If so, it would be a Task marker (Roadblock, Detour, Intersection, Fast Forward, Speedbump, U-Turn). (?)
