TAR 17 EP 10 "I Hate Chinese Food" (Hong Kong, China)
theschnauzers:
The type of task is important as the length of the penalty for quitting a task is different for each type. That it took until the last couple of seasons to learn there was a penalty for a general task, and that in fact, the quitting a detour is still 24 hours, was one of the surprises of the recent editions of TAR.

Well, the penalty for a general task was a surprise. However, I remember the 24-hour penalty for the Detour -- Nancy & Emily broke a rule in the first season by taking a bus to the Pit Stop instead of looking for the key to the car (in effect, quitting the Detour) and thus got the 24-hour penalty there.
When I suggested that Nick & Vicki fall so far behind because one of them threatens to quit, I was thinking that the task was a Roadblock and that the person who did the Roadblock (most likely Vicki) actually did quit and took the penalty as a result.

From what I remember:
General task = 2 hours
Roadblock = 4 hours
Detour = 24 hours
