8. 5 Points - Is this team the first team to get to the U-Turn?
Yes
No

9. Is Margie & Luke the 1st team to get to the U-Turn?
Yes
No

When you say get to the U-Turn, do you mean "have an opportunity to use the U-Turn" or "arrive at the U-Turn sign"?
Its possibly not the same thing.  :spy:

16. 15 Points (First four options)- Which team wins the Basketball Game or 5 Points (Final option)
Flight Time's Team
Big Easy's Team
Its a draw
Not Shown
US (the Viewing audience)



Based on the title "Don't ruin the basketball game" the game could be interrupted. Does this count as a draw or do we need another option "Game not finished"?

Wouldn't "not shown" be the answer you would choose, kikisak?

There are four detours in this episode.  Two from the last leg that zev and Justin and Kent and vyxsin need to complete and the two options for the new leg.  The question is for the new detour options for this leg.

The Detour of this leg. Meaning Kent and Vyxsin and Zev and Justin's "uncompleted" Detour from last leg is not counted.

Not that it matters anyway. Unless somebody wants to challenge mswood and say that Zev and Justin OR Kent and Vyxsin are the first team to complete the Detour from last leg.. you know how ________ (insert appropriate word here) some people can be.

You either go with choosing one of the 9 numbers or take the bonus 5 points.

No

I need to correct my wording.

Make your pick for how many teams you think will do that detour option and PLEASE also pick the bonus five points, the final option.

And on that question only make two picks.  One for a number and one for the final.  I will be able to see if you just push all the options and your points will be removed.

But the thing is, if i pick every option, i will get 15+5 points for the question? Since you will not be deducting points for wrong answers?

Make it a harsh one and give a 50 points penalty or what. :lol:

Nope, but when the game is scored I will be able to see which players picked more then the two allowed options.

Those players scores will be removed for that question.

How do you do that? By going to the leaderboard and checking it manually? Omg... that's tedious?

mswood, doesn't it suck that this leg has been so badly spoiled.. and the previews totally make it impossible for us question setters to come up with questions which have not been spoiled in some way?

First team to get to the physical U-Turn sign.  Sorry I thought I had answered it.  Not the first team to read the clue (So to avoid last week's issue).  And on this just for clarity.  Basically the first racer who reaches it counts as the whole team. (to use last week's Roadblock, that was clearly Luke, even though we don't know when Margie got to him).

Question 14:  If Gary and Mallory skip the RB by using the EP none of the answers listed would apply.  So what to mark?  There is no line for :none of the above.
