The Amazing Race

[zyzzyva980]

It appears we've got some slackers here, so we'll offer hints if you want them. We're waiting on several people for this leg- you know who you are. There may be some problems, I know one person has had a family emergency; obviously not much can be done about that. But we want to get you through these next few legs quickly. School is starting up soon for some people.

After some deliberation, we have decided to fast-forward people one clue on request. If you are stuck, you can be sent automatically one location foward in the race. Come on people! This is moving WAY to fast!

Racers, the next leg will start tomorrow. We are sorry it took so long. It will start at about 11:15 our time, so be prepared. Good luck.

11:15 sharp, and the next leg has begun!

You know the drill. The person who came in first will get the clue first, the next a few minutes later, and so on. Send me the answers in a PM with the subject starting with "TAR" or "re: TAR" and I'll send you the next clue. Last leg was really hard. This one is a little bit easier, but requires some creative thinking. Remember- someone may be eliminated, so work hard and work fast!

Here's what's happened recently:
Doctor has been eliminated. Six racers remain.

All teams have arrived at the pit stop in the UK. Here's how it went down: IdahoSciGuy finished first yet again, starpug improved to second, and fmtiger124 arrived in third. RandomPerson arrived in fourth.

The race was close heading for the pit stop. Paleonaps had the lead, but lllazar was gaining ground fast. [insert dramatic sequence] The first to arrive at the pit stop was...

paleonaps95

lllazar arrived shortly thereafter. "lllazar," I began, "You are the last team to arrive at the pit stop. I am sorry to tell you that you are... still in the race. This is a predetermined non-elimination leg. You will have to complete a speed bump next leg, but you have been spared elimination.

...which is odd because I am one of the only people in my school who has no endurance, and can't run for my life.

[brobo]

As everyone gets out of church and/or bed, the new leg starts! Personally, this is one of my favorite legs. The puzzles are fun and difficult at the same time, and I think you will all enjoy it.

This leg is a longer one, so I suggest you begin immediately.

[brobo]

Once again, time for a new leg to start! This one is a little shorter, so lets finish it quickly.

Even though zyzzyva isn't here right now, we agreed to start it today around 3-ish. He should be here soon.
