Question: Is this the first memory challenge the race as had at the end where you were aloud to bring your notes with you?
I think the only final memory challenge where teams couldn't use their notes was S12 but that's because they were told they couldn't use paper and pen to solve the riddle.
Seriously don't remember. SO I checked.
Last year yes they use Jordan's notebook which has it written down (and it was one of the easier ones!)
Season 15 doesn't have a memory task.
Season 14 None of them have any papers with them so I would say not allowed, or they are all stupid.
Season 13 Besides that specific clue packet, no other documents are shown, I so I would guess no.
Season 12 Clearly no (and boy that one was a bastard).
Season 11 No notes used, though why they would write that sort of thing down???
Season 10: No Memory task
Season 9: No team checks passport (which would have country order or any notes) so I would say not allowed The first tough memory task on the race.
Season 8: No documents are maps are used by either racer so I would guess a big no, on that one.
Season 3: Animal Totem I don't see any paper work with teams besides the clue and the extra info that was printed on a plaque. Of course this might have been the first one so teams may not have made notes.
