TAR 20 Ep 10 " I Need Hair To Be Pretty" (Cochin, India)
theschnauzers:
Chateau, if you have a chance before the episode airs, this might be the week to see if you can place the time of day for some of the vid caps of the various teams at the tasks for this upcoming leg (especially Mark and Bopper and some of the other teams who are performing the tasks outside in daylight. It might tell us whether there was an HOO used or just an odd-length pit stop, since all of the tasks appear to be in daylight.

So I should have used, and would have used if I was awake, December 13th for the Solar calcs.
And, you're right, two days is not going to change my time estimates especially that close to December 20th when all the variations bottom out.
But how come there is a one-day disagreement in the timeline? Dr. Rox said there that they left Africa on December 12th. I'm curious to go see what you've come up with.

First, I agree with Dr. Rox on leaving Arusha on the morning of Dec. 12. This does assume an extended pit stop in Tanzania, which I consider to be an eminently reasonable assumption.
A more interesting assumption is whether there is another extended pit stop in India. There may or may not be. Since I assumed in my timeline that there was no extended pit stop in the Kochi area, the implications of that are to reach Japan such that departure on Dec. 18 and arrival on Dec. 18 is what happens.
If you assume that there is an extended pit stop in the Kochi area and also an extended pit stop in Osaka (which I consider based on past experience to be a no-brainer), then the departure date and arrival date is Dec. 19.
cougarspy:
I actually thought Leg 9 would have been a "To be continued leg" since Leg 10 is in the same city, but then Phil said it was a "Non-Elimination Leg". Is it possible that they continued racing since the PitStop 9 times for most racers were in the morning? I'm not good at lights/shadows, but is this something RFF has already considered? That instead of an extended pitstop, to have no pit stop rest time?

That is what a keep on racing leg is, so no, we would not have had confessionals then, and we would have known.

Thanks for the confirmation georgiapeach, so they will be taking a rest period.
