Thanks Declive, Nuku, and Bookworm!!!
Great job, everyone, this is once again a really competitive round, I'm anxious to see what happens! Also lol at Lemontail and I both using different sides of Lake Titicaca :lol: :lol: :lol:

I always get a bad feeling about my legs when Showcase comes up and this time's no different...
Cocoa:
I am currently reading your legs! Will post my comments shortly. You are always free to clarify if I raised questions on your designs :tup:
Cocoa:
DESIGN #1: Bookworm
(Temuco and Lago Budi, Chile)
- Temuco being namedropped as poorest in Chile does not need to be mentioned. This also insinuates that the resisting native Mapuche causes this. I am not sure what you are trying to say here. Anyway, this won't affect my scoring, just nitpicking :)
- Smashing tile... we've seen this before. But as you've mentioned, it is for a quick RI task.
- DETOUR: I like laborious tasks like bundling Chilean seaweeds, materials that I have never seen before. Kudos!
- DETOUR: At first read, I like the task. I dig that it is both crafting with a test on Kultrun symbols. However, after reading (and rereading and rereading) the task details, I got more confused.
It would have been nice if you provide an example of the dream (complete with sentences), and how that dream translates to the symbols. Again, as much as I love the idea of this, but you need to solidly explain to us how this works.
However, I still would like to praise you for digging it this deep and I feel like this would reflect perfectly on screen -- with Mapuche tribe and all.
- ROADBLOCK: This is a good RB and would allow the UTurned team to potentially catch-up to the teams.
Overall, I really liked this leg. I believe this is a strong leg, and would have been stronger if you were able to provide the necessary information (I dont need to see the distance and estimates, I need to see more of the actual implementation of tasks). Good job!
Cocoa:
DESIGN #4 - Nuku
Sacred Valley, Peru
- DETOUR: The concept is nice, but the problem here is you did not indicate anything. Which folk dances are there? It is super easy to pitch this idea, but I need more details on how this will play out. Will the folk dances be super similar? Costumes confusing? We said we want IDEA, but support it as much as possible pls.
- DETOUR: I like this one better, as it gives me an interesting concept and then supporting it with backup information on how to make that concept a reality. However, it would have been better to provide us a sample of the message they need to memorize.
- UTURN: What I like about both detours is that they are where it is best to put a U-Turn, as both tasks are not too time expensive.
- The Roadblock and the rest of the leg looks good on paper, but I just don't know what to do with them. How hard will the weaving be? Provide examples, at least even a video on what they are going to do.
- Overall, I like the leg but I feel like these are all ideas that were not properly fleshed out. If we are in a university, I'd give this paper to you again (full of red inks with my comments, mostly in ???) for you to revise and expound even more. HOWEVER, I gotta give it to you; I felt like I am in the Incan Peru so good job in setting and presenting where teams will be racing.
- P.S. Should I grade bookworm on this one? I loved that you collaborated but this is an individual contest and you praising bookworm for providing leads to task gives more points to bookworm.
