TAR16 - EP6: "Cathy Drone?" (France)
apskip:
If you study the above rail schedule, a few aspects are paramount:
1. Although there are trains to Paris-Est, from which teams could catch a train to CDG airport 16 miles away, I doubt that they will do that.
2. Trains from the Champagne- Ardennes TGV station direct to CDG are at 734am, 827am, 147pm and 857pm. I think teams will take one of these.
3. You might think that a reasonable alternative to the Champagne-Ardennes TGV station is the Meuse TGV statio or the Massy TGV station. However, Meuse is 100 km east of Reims in precisely the wrong direction and neither one has trains to CDG..

Aren't FF's all green?
clue envelopes with the green Fast Forward marker can usually be spotted by the viewers(Googled this).
This looks like it has a compass or something on it...Is that a Roadblock sign?
--- End quote ---
It could be a FF clue covered up by driving instructions which would be in white. It sure looks like a compass, but it didn't do Jeff much good the last time he tried to use it in Argentina.

It looks like they are doing the more flamboyant and flashy style of opening a Champagne bottle using a sword. The trick is to hit the cork hard enough to make it pop from the bottle but not so hard that you break the neck of the bottle. It looks like Cord (or is it Jet?) is doing it correctly.

--- Quote from: apskip on March 15, 2010, 10:14:24 PM ---My memory of French history is that in 1431 Joan of Arc drove out the British from the French mainland. The uncrowned King Charles VII sent her to the siege at Orléans as part of a relief mission. She gained prominence when she lifted the siege in only 9 days. Several more swift victories led to Charles VII's coronation at Rheims and settled the disputed succession to the throne.
There is a definitive tie between Joan of Arc and that cathedral"Cathy"). I still can't figure out where drone comes in=, as there are several different definitions of drone, none of which appears to make any sense in this context.

Later she was captured by the British (betrayed by her own countrymen, Jealosy?), tried as a heritic, condemed and burned at the stake. The actual spot in Rheims is marked by a plaque and monument. Not actually in front of the Cathedral, but nearby.

The Burgundians captured Joan -- they were allied with the British, so it wasn't jealousy.
