Leg #8: Agra
Transportation - You got to spend to win.
This transportation is strictly strategic.
How much are you willing to spend?
It takes 400 minutes to complete this Transportation for $0.
For each $1 you spend it takes off 1 minute.
For example, $25 = 375 minutes. $113 = 287 minutes.
This is money from your bank account. If you spend money you don't have
or don't submit it will take 500 minutes and you will be left with no funds.
You can't not say "I'll spend everything I have", I need an exact number.
The game clock is stopped. You have 12 hours to PM me your decision.
Once completed this concludes Game Day 2 of the 8th Leg.
A brief overview of where your team stands on time will be posted
before I send out the Detour challenges by PM tomorrow.
Detour choices to be sent out in a few hours.

The Taj Mahal is best known for it's perfect symmetry.
For this Detour you have to solve the number chains to complete the puzzle.
Red answered red section while blue answered blue.
Time penalties will occur for the following:
1. Each incorrect or missing number. (+150 Minutes)
The Red sequence was:
1. Adding up the two previous cells above = 12,543
2. Multiplying the cell above and then adding two = 1,572,862
3. Adding the two cells on the left + one then multiply by 2 = 3,170,812
The Blue sequence was:
1. Adding up the two previous cells above = 16,724
2. Multiplying the cell above and then adding three = 2,097,149
3. Adding the two cells on the left + one then multiply by 2 = 4,227,748

A very tight leg all-around. One mistake was really costly this time.
Only two team got the Detour complete right, 1st place was one of them.
Which means as a close to a perfect leg as you can get gives this team
1st place and adds $50 to their bank account for their efforts.
After them 2nd through 6th finish within 228 minutes of each other.
30 minutes later it's a mad dash for 3rd through 5th.
Just 4 minutes later comes 5th place. Would have been even
more intense if this was a battle for last and not second to last.
A bad Road Block and Detour are enough to make them finish last.
Spoiler
Baseballlover312 and jihardy you are the last team to arrive.
I'm sorry to tell you but... you have been eliminated from the race.
Thanks for participating and I hope you had fun playing.
The 8th leg is finished.
Complete results below. Rest up and see'ya Dec. 26.
Enjoy your day off from the race and Merry Christmas!

You cereal killers are so lucky though

Welcome to the 9th leg of The Amazing Race!
The game clocks are reset but no money for you this time.
Keep track of your own money because if you spend money
you don't have you will incur a 60 minute penalty.
We continue our journey West into Africa. Your 7th destination is:
It's back on the plane. Good Luck and Race Safe!
Air Travel: Agra (Delhi) to Alexandria
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 twists.
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.
So, in this case Delhi is OK to use for Agra.
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 screenshot is needed for verification purposes.
The Road Block will be posted later today.

Leg #9: Alexandria, Egypt
Game Clock is Paused for 2 Hours
Then Will Resume for this Road Block
The land of pyramids, mummies, and pharaohs.
Math/number equations seemed to fool a few members
in the last Detour so let's do another math game in the pyramids!
Pyramid Panic
The game clock will be stopped for 2 hours at the time of posting this.
Once the two hours are up and your team still hasn't
submitted the game clock will be counting against you.
You have 12 hours from right now to submit a high score.
WARNING: The game does not show a final score once you die
and it says Game Over. Therefore be aware and take screenshots when
you think you are about to die for the final time.
Makes the challenge a little bit harder, and I like that. 
Rules:
1. You can replay the game as many times as you want
and on any difficulty although you get more points on harder difficulties.
2. Only 1 high score per team and you can only submit once.
3. Submit by PM with a full screenshot with a PCM.Daily tab present.
4. Tiebreaker for same score goes to who submitted first.
Penalty:
+30 Minutes for not mentioning who will do Detour
in the same PM as Road Block submission.
Time:
| 1st Place | 30 Minutes | | 2nd Place | 60 Minutes | | 3rd Place | 90 Minutes | | 4th Place | 120 Minutes | | 5th Place | 150 Minutes | | DNF | 250 Minutes |

No Route Info/Transportation for this leg.
Instead another U-Turn is in play to mix up the game.
This is a public U-Turn which means the other teams will know
who U-Turned them and made them complete both Detours tomorrow.
Stop the Game Clock by having 1 team member post
on this thread (not PM) saying what your team plans to do.
A. Choose to U-Turn another team and which team.
B. Just stop the Game Clock.
This is on a first come, first serve bases.
Only the first team to get nominated will get U-Turned.
You can not get U-Turned once you stop the game clock for your team.
Detour Choices will be sent out later today.
