This shot was taken between 6:50 and 7:11 pm (assumes July 17th).
OK.  I can't hold it in any longer.  How do you know when the photo was taken?

Thanks Gman! And Puddin  :cmas26

Sharkshooter, yeah it's complicated.  I try to figure out what is the direction to the sun in the scene.  If I can do that accurately and if I know how the scene is oriented with respect to north, south, east, and west then I can convert the direction to the sun into angles of Solar Azimuth and Solar Altitude.  Then I compare one or both of those two angles to what would be expected for that particular day and that particular location on Earth.  So I need to know where the and when the shot was taken.

Solar Altitude can give a time of day (actually, two possible times of day) without having to know the scene's orientation.  For example, see Vyxsin's breast giving the time estimate for the Goth's arrival at the Detour in this leg (post #113).

I have a question:

can we figure out if that shot of kynt and vyxsin is them running to the pitstop, because if it is then that would rule out TBC since we know Nate and Jen are behind them thanks to chateau and TBC episodes always end with the first team checking into the fake pit stop

(not to mention that bringing a gnome to the fake-TBC pitstop would be kind of weird)

I can't see what they are walking towards Michael? They could be heading to the Detour for all I know and seeing the festive people. Vyxsin says "Oh my God"

Yeah, know.  I love it when Chateaux finds time for the footage.  But I die every time he figures it out with Breasts.  That is just so so awesome.

Could it be that Nathan and Jenny actually win the Gnome Prize?  And the title for ep 6 Cherry on the top of the Sundae that's already meltedcomes from their confessional at the start of the ep6? A guestion to ponder.

This is more like what I was thinking Michael and yeah bringing a gnome to a fake pitstop is weird  :cmas19

Right so theres always been a pitstop so someone goes because we have no NEL's so to me its either JeNathan or the blonds depending on the detour times. I'll explain brb

Well there is definity a cameraman chasing down some team behind Ron and it might be the blonds if not them then who? I guess really it could be JeNathan but I can't get a clear picture.

We think the Goths and TK/Rachel are at the Detour early on based on TK/Rachel being earlier than JeNathan and Chis/Ron at the cluebox near the 3 church's in Vilnius. Then we see probably the Siblings passing JeNathan at the detour, Nathan can't count! LOL --SO they switch detours and here comes Nic & Gramps  --- Nathan looks like he got the stilts done but Jen is having a hard time. Can gramps & Nic really pass JeNathan? they have not even started the detour yet, whatever they choose?
Have JeNathan been there for hours at the detour? They would have to be to have Ron & Chris to pass them which is possible I guess.
We have a clue that the blonds get lost and therefore the "bus" etc
What if this happens? We know this is JeNathan --The clue says:
*while another Team says some things they might regret after losing their cool during a Detour
*The simple act of counting fence posts at a Lithuanian festival causes one dating couple's relationship to be anything but festive
Why does Nathan regret what he said? Maybe the pitstop isn't as close to Rumsiskes as we think -- maybe they leave the gnome behind and have to go back for it or they get lost on the way to the pitstop? I dunno?

What I'm really wondering is if Ron & Chris are so far behind how do they luck out being in the top 3 in getting to Croatia?

I bet he does regret calling  Jen a bitch!  But this could maybe be the Blondes too..

And the prob with the Goth shot is not knowing where they are--finished the Detour? Just starting?

But had 2 thoughts (and that's good after the day I had! :lol: )

If the clue in Vilnius says find St Michael's that could turn into another Foucault's Pendulum because there are at least 2--the biggie green onion domed one which is NOT the one they need or ours which is small and currently houses the Architecture Museum--maybe less well known?

And could this be our cluebox? They have it greyed out but I was wondering. Or it could be a trash can! :cmaslol

Peach, the shot of the Goths that I gave the time estimate for was taken when they arrive at the Detour.

I'm pretty sure about it.  The road configuration matches in GE.  If the shot included more view to the right (Vyxsin's left) we would see that Octagonal building that teams go past as they approach the location of the detour.

I think the Goths would look like this when they see all those crazy characters that are frolicking around.
