All of you are right, but let me clear this up a little bit for those who are confused!
Malaysia has a much larger longitudinal range than Singapore, which means the time when the sun appears directly overhead varies. The sun is overhead in Singapore about 50min after Kota Kinabalu, and 15min before Penang. This is what Evan means when he says there is a time difference between Malaysia and Singapore.
Clock-wise, though, both countries (including East Malaysia) are in the +8 GMT time-zone. This means Jet/Cord wouldn't have to change the times on their watches going between Penang and Singapore. And they've been in Penang for two days now, surely they would have changed their times, especially after having to catch a train?
I am not confident about the times I deduced from the shadows, would an expert step in to help please? :lol: Dan/Jordan could have been held back by the crazily stringent Singaporean safety standards and briefings, but I'm not sure how long those would take. The train from Malaysia couldn't have arrived before 8.10am, so I'd say the drumming is one of the earlier tasks in the leg.
(So Michael/Louie U-Turn themselves? :snicker:)

Travel Time
Because the departure times of planes & trains are based on local time (the time at the airport/station), I suspect racers will change their watches every time they change locations. Racers would not want to be late for a plane or train.

Thought I'd put this up for discussion. What time do you guys think this is?

I'm thinking that the "couple in red" in several of the sightings must have been Steve and Allie running decoy? ???

Then how could Jordan perform FF around 11:42am, there are 2 hours..

Help this ole geezer out, please. Do we have concrete evidence that Dan and Jordan are doing a Fast Forward? Have we actually seen a green card somewhere? Or, is this just someone's speculation that there is a FF this ep?
