EP 6: "Sleep Deprivation is Really Starting to Irritate Me." ( Wends @ 8:00 ET)
never0102:
Wow this was a lame ass episode. for the sake of the race they need to bring back bunching. I mean bunching was never bad until it became so exaggerated like with LB the internaet cafe oppening at 3:oo in the moring and not in the afternoon. But this season its just so boring.

has the starting times more accurately than I do, but they are similar to my original post.
What stands out to me is that the Hippies and Frat boys passed each other on the same road in Segesta.

According to my reckoning; the Hippies arrived at the Roman Amphitheatre at appoximately 5:30AM and it was still dark but they had to wait until 8:30AM when the place opened. The Beach Boys left at 4:11 and arrived at the ruins at about 7:15AM just after sunrise. So the first two teams started out together in Catania at 8:30AM. The next team -MO/JO- arrived about 9:00AM and as they left the theatre to pick up the swordfish they passed the first two teams returning to the parking spot at the theatre so the time is now about 9:15AM. Thus the Hippies and the Beach Boys maintained their lead all day, and probably finished up at the pit stop at about noon or a little after.
Chateau d If:
Well, BJ & Tyler's check in time of 2:29 pm is kind of close to the late side of the range I estimated (1:24 to 2:22 pm) for Eric & Jeremy on the path up to the theater. That was shot when Eric & Jeremy spotted BJ & Tyler going up the hill of the Temple.

Chateau: see my post above (289). Any chance you can perform your miracle time estimates (I think it is remarkable that you came within one minute of predicting the Hippies arrival at the pit stop in Segesta) for the arrival of the teams at the pit stop in Siracusia? Very good shadow informtion, but my Michelin map seems to be off with the Fonte Aretusa being on the west side of the island, while the shadows seem to put it on the east side of the island.
Slowhatch:
This map puts the fountain on the southwest part of the island; all the teams had to do was follow the shoreline. I've attached a kmz if anybody needs the lat/long, etc.
