Reading it back it makes little sense indeed
Right, situation was as follows:
Roadblock was posted, I was asleep and Dippo saw it on mobile(but couldn't do it). Could he have send you a pic of a white screen(or whatever) and get a 500min penalty?
Or wouldn't that be allowed?

If he would have sent an image and said he couldn't play because he was on mobile and then said or accepted taking the 500 minute penalty, then yes.

Crap.
At least I have a valid reason to blame Dippo though
Thanks for answering

So with Jesleyh and his team out, half of the job is done.
JK, tough loss when is read how it came to that, but we are safe and that is all that matters. Go Detour!

After taking a rest in round 3 by walking through the streets, we had enough energy for the fast forward in this round.
Well done, mre. |

Great leg for us. I didn't expect we'd still get a spot on the first bus. |

Welcome to the 5th leg of The Amazing Race!
The game clocks are reset and you have all been given $25.
Keep track of your own money because if you spend money
you don't have you will incur a 60 minute penalty.
Across the Pacific Ocean we go. Your 5th destination is:
It's time to travel by airplane again. Good Luck and Race Safe!
Air Travel: Santiago to Toyko
Using Amazing Race's official travel sponsorship Travelocity,
You have to find the quickest arriving real-time flight from
the current race location to where you are going.
However, there are two twist. Otherwise this would be too simple and easy.
1. An individual flight accumulates a 30 minute delay for each team on it.
Unless you are the only team on the plane then it arrives at the scheduled time.
For example, Travelocity says flight arrives at destination at 4:00 PM.
However 4 teams chose that exact flight so it will actually arrive at 6:00 PM.
2. Each layover gives a 50% chance of being delayed an extra 15 minutes.
Adds strategy to the game as the first arriving flight might not be the best option. Although it could be your golden ticket if everyone decide to avoid it.
Make sure you chose One-Way, not Round-Trip.
You are booking two adult tickets, you and your partner.
Flights don't take money out our team's bank account.
The airports must be in or near designated departure and arrival cities.
The game clock starts now and stops at the arrival time of the flight.
One team member must PM me with their chosen flight.
A picture or hyperlink is needed for verification purposes.
Failure to follow directions multiple times will result in penalties.
For this Air Travel, $150 will buy your team first-class and take off 100 minutes off your arrival time. $50 for business class to take of 50 minutes.
The Road Block will be posted on Monday.
(Sorry, I have to study for my uni exams. )

Travelocity again? Let's see which team screws up like us
*popcorn*
baseballlover312, 06-03-14 : "Nuke Moscow...Don't worry Russia, we've got plenty of love to go around your cities"
Sarah Palin, 08-03-14 (CPAC, on Russian aggression) : "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a nuke is a good guy with a nuke"

From now on screenshots are need for Air Travel because I have just figured out the hyperlinks expire once the flight takes off which is a problem if I'm not fast enough to verify it.
Sadly 1 team missed their flight because of that but it shouldn't be a big problem consider 1 team screwed up majorly on their flight and I don't think they have even realized it yet.

I realize there is a high probability that both of those could be me, but I searched and couldn't find any other way so nothing I can do now.

Check-In and Stop the Game Clock
You have touched down in Japan.
For this leg you will be driving to you Detour destination.
However, first you have to get you car out of the parking lot.
Complete a Level 15 puzzle.

The game clock is running until 1 team member completes the Road Block, so yes, the game clock is running right now.

We have enjoyed Santiago so much, especially the women we thought what the hell we might as well stay another week

Spent like half the time googling for a solver for that game, but didn't find one. Finally I got my car to its destination then though. |

@Alak: Now it makes sense.
@Avin: No, just complete level 15. 1 Screenshot.
@Bikex: Good. I want games where you actually have to play them instead of cheating your way through. What's the fun in that?
