You guys are great getting all that info out to us. Thanks. ;D

I'm trying out a new capture card that seems to give me slightly better definition. A brief promo tonight and I was able to read the compass: it's a Stanley London. It would seem to be of limited usefulness for pathfinding or orienteering (unless it was put in the commercial just for show, which means I just wasted 20 min. :knuckles:).

Another good promo last night on NBC but I had to suffer through 90 minutes of Deal or No Deal to catch it. DND is just about the worst I have seen in a long time, but sadly it pulls in twice the audience of TAR. Now what does that say about TV audiences these days?
But I degress.
Hard to put a finger on what is going on in the promos, but it looks like the key to the game will be the solving of clues. Brain over Brawn? Goes back to the very original idea behind TAR when in ep one (and just about only in ep one) teams were given clues of where they had to go to find the next clue. So I imagine it is going to be hard to come up with any meaningful scenarios before the airing of each ep. Also we have five teams starting out in opposite sides of the USofA; one team I imagine travels west and another team travels east so it is going to be hard at first to figure out which group is going where and doing what when they get there. And unless, TPTB give us a hint at what clue has to be solved, we won't know much more than squat about each ep.
So brush up on your cryptography, puzzle solvers, numerology, et al and be prepared to solve cryptic codes, etc.

I wish TAR would go back to the solving clues approach. Made the game more interesting IMO.

The first is a median or park with a flag and maybe some water in the distance. The second, where teams receive their Dover medallion, is next to some kind of pillar/pedestal/monument/building.

That just might be the National Mall near the Viet Nam Memorial or the Korean War Memorial both of which are in front of the Lincoln Memorial which contains the statue of Lincoln by French.
