Wait, this doesn't make sense. I believe there were 12 pieces and each had 2 symbols? Then for sure we couldn't have had 2 sets of the correct symbols.

I share the drawing of all my plane parts on my blog: jenhudak.com/amazing-race-30-11-12
There were 22 unique images and two repeats (the helmet for Iceland and the fish for Morocco). There was only one correct solution, and it was the same combination of 12 images for each team. Each piece had two images on them, and the combination of two images was the always the same across each plane. The only difference was what piece had the images on them. For example, one of my wings had the scale from Bahrain and the cantene from Imire, but those were on Jess' propeller.

Thanks. The show wasn’t clear about some aspects of the 24 images, so I wanted to verify exactly what the Racers were dealing with.
Neobie:
Thanks Jen for detailing your travels! Do hang around for a while, us obsessive types might have a few questions as we map out the route and fill in the gaps in the timeline!
Agreed that the final challenge was set up unfairly, and your team was shortchanged at this crucial juncture. Here are the pieces each team had:

While I'm not sure about Henry, it was impossible for Jessica and Jen to finish with a structurally-sound plane; they both needed a plane with two left wings.
Shame on the producers! Why would they bother making the wings differently if they didn't bother to make them count?

Interestingly, Jen said in her AMA on Reddit that the taxi situation was resolved by production pausing all three teams so whoever hadn't paid could go do so. It was Extreme and Yale who had not paid.
It seems weird they would make everyone stop, no? Wouldn't it be considered an advantage for the team who did pay theirs? If they had had to go to a new location, would they pause for the team that didn't have a cab to get one?
