Some people might find it easy and not distracting at all as a viewer, but as a racer, that will be stressful enough to make them confused (include the loud stamping of three big red X's and scary serious men at the side)

And the constantly ringing telephones in the background.

The task was definitely designed to mess with the team members' minds. Only Meghan excelled at it.

--- Quote from: DavidJunior on January 05, 2011, 09:19:04 AM ---Start with the letter that comes first alphabetically, except the word can't possibly start with 'a', so move on to the next letter: f
Combo 1: FANRZ
Combo 2: FARNZ
and at that point, I would recognize FARNZ, but I guess that's just cause I'm a genius :res:
So it should only take a few combos to figure it out, and if you're really smart, you'd wait until you've found an answer you're confident in
Literally 10 minutes, its not rocket science here
--- End quote ---
He was told that the word starts with an "F" there are four letters remaining right, another 4 possible combinations and there are like 16 words possible.
It would have taken 20 minutes to figure out.
--- End quote ---
redskooky, you're close, but the answer is 4!, or 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24 possible combinations of 5 letters beginning with F as the first letter. Those are:
FANRZ
FANZR
FARNZ
FARZN
FAZNR
FAZRN
FNARZ
FNAZR
FNRAZ
FNRZA
FNZAR
FNZRA
FRANZ
FRAZN
FRNAZ
FRNZA
FRZAN
FRZNA
FZANR
FZARN
FZNAR
FZNRA
FZRAN
FZRNA
The only one that makes sense as a real name is FRANZ.
