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?

They restarted the time BEFORE we went out to pay our cabs. So, Jessica & Cody were able to continue looking for plane parts when we had to go out and pay our cab. Thanks for asking this! I realize I did not make that clear in my post on Reddit, so I just went and modified it there too.

Oh gotcha! Thanks for clarifying!

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?

Neobie! Thank you for your attention to detail on this! I drew out each plane on Sunday and came to the same conclusion. I couldn't find images from the edited show to determine if Henry's were both left wings, but I did look at his plane after I completed mine and all planes had both left wings.
I do have one other nerd question, if you feel up to the task. The images that they flashed on the screen after two of my checks seem like impossible combinations. For two reasons: 1) I never had the Left Wing/Left Wing combination until my final solution (as that was the major roadblock for me solving the puzzle) 2) one of them is showing an incorrect image of a keel, which is the stand alone image for St. Tropez.
The only reason that this is significant at all, is that it makes me wonder if Henry actually had the solution on his plane when he switched parts last second. You can't see any of his plane parts when he's asking for that check. Makes me wonder if they were building up dramatic effect. But of course, it's truly impossible to tell. And again, makes no difference to the results. Just curiosity.

Sorry this is kind of off topic but I can't resist. Correct planes having two left wings. There has to be a political comment about mainstream TV network political views here somewhere. :)
