OK, I Crashed yesterday, sleep 14 hours and of course forgot to put the game up.

So I am going to put the questions up.  But since its Sunday (for Christ Sake) if I get 5 people who say I should skip this week, it will be skipped.  People can voice their opinion up until the game would normally close.

Questions will be up in 30 if people want to look first.

There is always a last minute flurry...do it! If too many people don't submit, you can always choose to not count this week in the standings later. :tup:

Go ahead and post them.
If some of the regular players miss the deadline, for example Joab or ovalorange because they are in Asia and Australia, you can decide to award them points either the average of all the participants or the points of the player closest to them in the leaderboard.

My opinion on question 19 & 20

If I was going to use the U-Turn There are three factors that would make up my choice.

If I am not around any other teams, I would automatically pick Amani & MArcus.  Knowing that they have an extra task this leg, I would hope that they would still be behind me.

If we were bunched together and I knew that I was ahead of people leaving the Detour, I would pick either Andy & Tommy or whoever I thought was going to be last completing the Detour that I was on (so for example if Andy & Tommy didn't do my side of the detour I wouldn't waste the U-Turn hoping they were behind me).

If I think I am near last and I see a team right behind me, thats going to be the team picked (no matter who it is)

Its all about giving your team the largest time advantage you can get.  I would really try and pay attention at the Detour to see who is behind me.



On the Express Pass, assuming we are fairly well equalized at the start of the leg, and I know a U-Turn is ahead.  I would express pass the Detour, to attempt to get to the U-Turn first, then I would pick Andy & Tommy (which are my favorite team of the season).

Either Andy & Tommy because they are so strong or Ernie & Cindy to make the Express pass useless.

At the Detour, because you can't know if you have been u-turned  and if you don't use it, it might be wasted and even if you are u-turned you still do just one side of the detour, as always.

Roadblock

Would it be number 3? Technically, the speed bump occurs before the roadblock and detour. Amani & Marcus had to complete the speed bump before they could continue on with the roadblock and then the detour. You didn't ask what the speed bump occurred directly before. (Personally, I'm not arguing against roadblock being the answer.)

I don't think that we can disagree at any question. Your answers are correct (although I didn't get even half of the them correct).

I figured someone would argue about which team is the first team U-turned.  They are selected to be U-turned but because they are already passed it, they are technically U-Turned.  But since it had the follow up question on if they had already passed it, it would have been difficult to convince me to change it.
