Wait, so leaving the pit stop counts as a place?  :groan: There went the other 40 points...

This is definitely going to come down to the finale.

I don't think very many people are going to get their picks up. I didn't realize they were on until I checked the site myself...

I don't think Louie and Mike ever got credited as third place. The only time I can recall where they got close was the Speed Bump, and I don't think they got the subtitle credit as third.

I'm not certain though.

Oh, it wasn't stated, it was on the clue. You could read that it said that they recieved $22.

I'm pretty sure that they were credited for third place at sometime...

I doublechecked and I can not hear anyone saying how much money they received.   You have to look quickly to see that the clue does say that teams received $22, but if no one actually said it does the question only apply to someone saying it and not what you might catch if you looked closesly.

Louie and Michael are awarded Third Place on a title when they are on the Garden Bridge and are opening the clue envelope.

Louie and Michael are never given a position title when they reach the speed bump.  They arrive at the temple hand in hand with Dan and Jordan so they could be either third or fourth.  But as Dan and Jordan open the clue they are credited with a third place title.  So one could assume that Louie and Michael are in fourth place.  But since the placings are not clear, I think that both third and fourth would have to be accepted as correct answers.

Well, we'll leave this to mswood... technically they were in third when they arrived at the speed bump...

I feel that the speed bump in an independant track (Bad analogy incoming!) like the "Alternate 1985" featured in Back to the Future 2. While Mike and Louie were completing the Speed Bump, they were not on the standard race course, and I feel that they cannot be credited with a placing while on this alternate course.

The whole point is moot for one of the questions, because they were credited with 3rd on Garden Bridge. But I think in the Speed Bump arrival case it comes down to who is shown opening their clue first.
