MYF Amazing Race (Part II)
Once the teams found my mailbox, they were treated to the first detour of the Race. A detour is a choice between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons (hehehe...getting my Phil impression going here). In this detour, teams need to choose between Search on Foot and Search by Hand. In both choices, they need to answer four numerical questions, add up the answers, and find a lock to unlock it using the sum. The foot option has four questions about the campus, and the hand option has four questions about the Bible.
Having no problem with this detour is team Ingrid et al. who searched by hand and arrived to the pit stop at 2:50PM. They are team number one, and received a small prize. They were directed to the C&D for some bottled water (keep that in mind). I have to wait a while before another team arrived at the pit stop. Team number two is Ed et al., who searched on foot, sort of. They didn't search for the tree question; they just guessed at an answer and kept trying numbers around it on the lock, and eventually opened it. They checked in at 3:01PM. I have to wait another while to get two teams coming to me at once. Team number three is Steven & May (yay! come from behind!) and team number four is Roger & Jessie. They both searched by hand and checked in at 3:08PM.
So this means that the last team to arrive is Daisy & Michael, who had a lot of trouble doing the foot option, and eventually had to switch to the hand option. They arrived at 3:25PM, and were eliminated...but wait! There's a twist! Roger & Jessie decided to quit (supposedly on being too tired), and Daisy & Michael agreed to continue, so Roger & Jessie were eliminated. Hehehe...so, there's the first leg. As a postscript, Daisy & Michael questioned me on the foot detour, and eventually led to a problem with the tree question. We then found out that it turned out there are two graduating years that donated the same type of tree, and they went for the one that I didn't know of. My mistake. So, they were a bit furious over that, but it's ok, they're still in the Race. Sorry Daisy & Michael!
