You didn't beat Peach you are tied with her at 90 points along with several others.

[Prophet]

I'm listed above her, kiki, so I must have done something better.

Don't rain on my parade; I'm having fun!

[Zvarri]

2nd place so far. Did better than I expected.

[georgiapeach]

Congrats to those ahead of me!

I am just thankful to have done that well...I suck at guessing.

[Jobby]

OMG. I didn't beat peach!! Congrats to those who did!!

I'm doing... mediocre.

[Jobby]

PS: I'm glad i'm part of this game again and thanks mswood for hosting once again!

[ovalorange]

It's good to see that everything is worked out now.

Congrats to first time player ovalorange!

Great job Calibound!  

Yeah, I won the first leg last season, which was my first time playing. That was the best fluke I've ever had

[Prophet]

On question 20 about the HDTV is there a "right" answer? Also I am confused as to the right and left sides of the Detour and how on earth we are supposed to predict that.

[Coutzy]

On question 20 about the HDTV is there a "right" answer? Also I am confused as to the right and left sides of the Detour and how on earth we are supposed to predict that.

If a question states bonus points it means all answers are technically correct. It's more like a poll of the players.

For the Detours it works based on the graphic we see on TV (The point is that we can't predict it, thus taking away some of the spoiler advantage)

It works thus:

High << DETOUR >> LOW

LEFT << DETOUR>> RIGHT

[kiki]

On question 20 about the HDTV is there a "right" answer? Also I am confused as to the right and left sides of the Detour and how on earth we are supposed to predict that.

As Coutzy said you can't predict it. If you know how many teams did one detour and how many did the other you have a 50% chance to get it right. That's the best you can hope.

[Prophet]

Thanks for the explanation guys, it sounds like a blind guess.

Qn 20, clearly stated 5 Bonus Points by mswood. It doesn't matter if there's a right answer or not as both options will give you points.

As for how on earth are you supposed to predict the right and left sides of the Detour, i hope you understood Coutzy's explanation. Basically if the TV shows this Detour option on the screen

HIGH      DETOUR     LOW

And then 5 teams did LOW because it's on the right side, then the answer is 5.

Most of the questions in this game require careful examining.. otherwise every question is just about as close as to making a blind guess.. isn't it?

[Coutzy]

Just remembered that I was extremely disappointed that there was no question asking if I got on camera.

[Jobby]

Just remembered that I was extremely disappointed that there was no question asking if I got on camera.

I did so in my game though.

And 23 people actually said NO.

[Coutzy]

Well the answer technically is yes. The back of my head was on camera, and I identified it as such. My face never got on though.

[Jobby]

I was looking all over for you when i was watching the episode.

[Coutzy]

I was looking all over for you when i was watching the episode.

I have reason to believe I'll be in the background for a few K/V shots while they're still in Sydney.

[kiki]

We had faith in Coutzy's detective abilities and stealth that's why we answered no in Joab's game and in reality we never saw him. If Coutzy himself hadn't recognised the back of his head we would have been correct.

[mswood]

And yeah I was one of them......
