peach..
The Yield thing is still buggin me. How can D/O be behind the other teams? I can see it if the detour comes first and the "little drummer boy" option is a bad choice BUT they get the "caution yield ahead" clue at the Macau ferry terminal. If all tasks are in Macau that clue is the first one they get, right??? That would lead them to the towers for the roadblock. You think D/O took a slow boat to China?
still trying to figure that out
How about this, I think it was Michael that brought it up? TPTB made a point of showing us this right?
We were shown O/D using their last 20$ to pay the toll.
We were shown Eric refusing to pay his last 20$ to pay a cab to directions to the Jockey Club
What if the race starts with 1$? Lets assume its a 12 hour pitstop..
The Turbo-Jet ferry
costs 20$ D/O although out in the lead have no way of paying for the ferry. They can't beg for $$ but can only ask someone to buy them their tickets( is that right?)
Next out the BQ's
Next out C/M
Next out E/Dee
Teams hit Turbo Ferry
HoursOfOperation mswood writes, her excellent time-line : There is probably close to a two hour gap between Oswald & Danny and Dustin & Kandice, and a similar gap between Dustin & Kandice and Charla & Mirna. I would guess about another separates Eric & Danielle.
O/D no funds to get on the ferry.
C/M's generous offer to O/D money?
Anyway, perhaps E/Dee finally get a lucky break and are on board the first ferry along with D/K.
Clue Yield ahead! D/K fear E/D will beat them to the Yield cluebox ( have mentioned how atheltic they are ) so strike a deal to Yield one of the behind teams? plus D/K have already used the Yield so perhaps wait for E/Dee to catch up to them to negotiate the yield and how to use it?
lots of flaws in my theory but I have to be some where asap and am still half in my PJ's so later
