TAR 19 EP 3 "Don't Lay Down On Me Now" (Indonesia)

<< < (10/22) > >>

Chateau d If:

--- Quote ---In this Road Block, Justin (left) and Ernie (right) must count the different hand position of the Buddha statues in the 8th century Buddhist temple of Borobudur
--- End quote ---

I can see how telling some of these apart can become a problem when the hands are snapped off  :groan:  (images from Wikipedia)

Bhumisparsa mudra


Vara mudra


Dhyana mudra


Abhaya mudra


Vitarka mudra


Dharmachakra mudra


About the only way to complete this Roadblock will be to recognize that the Mudra they are trying to count occupy certain compass directions (or the top/zenith).  The Team that figures this out first will take command of the leg.  Or they could share the info and get some friendship points. 

Since it has to do with compass directions I bet the Sunderlands will figure it out first.  Since Zac has already done 2 out of 2 Roadblocks I bet it will be Laurence who does it.   :jam:

What Chateau said

theschnauzers:
I can see the teams easily misreading the Buddha counting task, especially if it  is just the six hand positions used per that Wiki article. Without priot knowledge of Buddist mythology, I seriously doubt Americans will get something that stuble. ;)
