It actually established way longer than 5 minutes. It was also a way to see the culture. Trust me, there have been tasks way more absurd than that one.

apskip:
iamthebalance,

By separation between teams, I meant that the first of 10 teams started and finished this task (using 4 minutes as the average separation time) 36 minutes before the 10th team. Do you have any proof that this is not approximately so?

theschnauzers:
The use of an active route marker to bunch teams for the night and provide a separation in the same order, evenly or not, the next morning either by an assigned time, flight, or completing a "task: is very frequent in TAR.
Had this been a detour or roadblock task, I am sure it would likely had been more difficult that riding on a motorbike racing with a team of bulls.

apskip:
Separation happened as a result of teams having to wait their turn on the motorcycles in conjunction with two harnessed bulls and its driver. It had only to do with the inherent order of arrival at the whips, as long as all teams did not miss their specified-by-the-whip-number turn at Alun-Alun Stadium.

Jobby:
I actually thought the bull task was interesting and at least it made sense for teams to pick a number and got credited for their speed to the Alun Alun Stadium rather than bunch all of them together. It determined the positions of the teams also for this entire leg... but James and Abba checked in 6th too... but imagine their position could have been worst if they arrived last at the clue.
