Just found out I'm going to be away for most of the day tomorrow so
I won't be able to run the Detours. Therefore the choices will be sent out
before I leave tomorrow and the Detours will take place Friday.
Sorry, nothing I can do about it.

Btw moving of the Detour to Friday means there is 90% chance that Detour de France are going out, as i already planned my visit of relatives i cant cancel. So visiting Internet Cafe at right time will be crucial, i have to find some in advance.

is it possible that I take the detour over with a time penalty or something if Avin can't make it?

No, sorry. The point was to keep the Detours evenly split up and that's apart of the race (also IRL).

well that's unfortunate to hear so all I can do is turning to a higher power and praying, avin makes it in time. I've done all I could.
that's the way the game goes

Time to test concentration under pressure.
For this Detour you have to count all the circles/ovals in the picture below.
PM me back with the number of circles/ovals you believe to be in the picture.
Time penalties will occur for the following:
1. For Each Number Your Guess is Off By. (+45 Minutes)
Ex. You guess 3 and the number is 5 would be +90 Minutes.

For this Detour you have to count all the squares/rectangles in the picture below.

The Fast Forward determined the winner, as it should.
It was timely and important since everyone arrived on the same flight.
They win back-to-back legs and 3rd for the entire race, most of any team.
For winning the leg they also get $50 added to their bank account.
The fight for 2nd was decided at the Road Block and transportation.
The transportation set them back and after a lot of worrying about this leg
and their future in the race they managed to survive.
An awful Road Block and Detour did them in. Last place...
Spoiler
sgdanny and Marcovdw you are the last team to arrive.
I'm sorry to tell you but... pick up your heavy bags.
This is a non-elimination leg and the race continues right NOW.
You will have to face a Speed Bump at some point during the leg.
This is the start (Day 1) of the 11th leg!
Welcome to the 11th leg of The Amazing Race!
The game clocks are reset and you have all been given $5.
Keep track of your own money because if you spend money
you don't have you will incur a 60 minute penalty.
We are staying in Venice for this leg.
The Game Clock is Started!
One team member PM me with the location you are walking to:
If you are Incorrect. (+300 Minutes)
Complete results below. Race Safe and Good Luck.

Nice to win another task
Looking forward to the start of Leg 11 tomorrow. Hoping it might be a flight to Britain, as I guess we go back to America in Leg 12.

Game Clock is Stopped for this Road Block
On to the Road Block. It's time for another flash game.
Tower Block Game 2.0
The game is similar to the first tower game you played.
The goal is to rack up the most points. Each point equals time.
You have 16 hours from right now to submit a high score.
Rules:
1. You can replay the game as many times as you want
and the game clock is not running during this Road Block.
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.
Penalties:
1. +30 Minutes for not mentioning who will be doing the Detour
in the same PM as the results screenshot.
Time:
You are not directly competing against the other teams this time.
The base time for not completing/not submitting is 500 minutes.
Each point you get is worth 2 minutes. For example:
You submit a score of 10,
your total time will be (500-10(x2)) 480 Minutes.

Leg #11: Venice
Transportation - Don't Get Lost.
This transportation involves directions and timeliness.
You have to go from Start to Finish to complete this leg.
You travel along the completed lines to the circles.
So, what do the colors mean?
Green = +15 Minutes
Yellow = +30 Minutes
Red = +60 Minutes
Orange = +Leg #11 Detour Advantage
Yellow w/Black Line = Speed Bump (Must be hit by The Epic Racers)
? = Mystery
Also each move you make subtracts $5 from your bank account.
Submit Answers by PM in the following format:
1. South
2. West
3. Northeast
4. etc.
Time Penalties:
1. Failure to reach finish or (for The Epic Racers) not hit the Speed Bump.
(+500 Minutes)
2. Run out of money in Bank Account (+60 Minutes)
The Game Clock is Running. One team member
has to PM me with their directions to stop the clock.
Once completed this concludes Game Day 2 of the 11th 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 later today.

Well, as i was expecting Detour third day after results (free day) as in every leg, i set up a meeting in Prague yesterday afternoon-evening just to find out this morning that i was supposed to do the detour yesterday.
Because of that, Detour de france are sure to go out now, i feel sorry for my partner, who was exceptional in this game and would deserve to win it if not paired up with me.

A crazy back-and-forth leg but the winner remains the same.
It's their 3rd straight and 4th total for the entire race, most of any team.
They have to be the main favourite to win the whole thing at this point.
For winning the leg they also get $50 added to their bank account.
2nd was decided at the Road Block and even after this team
looked like they were going to finish last after failing at the first Route Info.
Last place was up in the air all the way to the Detour.
They entered the Detour in last place and came out in 3rd.
They had 49 minutes or less to complete the Detour to avoid finishing last.
They couldn't manage to get it done...
Spoiler
SSJ2Luigi and Avin Wargunsson 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 11th leg is finished.
------------------------------------------------------
Congratulations to Blazing Bakaris, The Epic Racers and The Shire Stallions!
You are the three teams that get to say you completed the race.
Only 1 leg remains! The winner of leg #12 is crowned the Champion.
Get ready, it's going to be the hardest leg of them all.
(At least I hope. )
Also, Blazing Bakaris chose to go to the mystery spot in 2nd Route Information. For doing so they get the power to PM me with 3 cities they would guess
to be the finishing city for this Amazing Race.
If they guess correctly I will confirm it and they get ahead start to look up flights for the Air Travel which will be posted at 9AM USA EST tomorrow.
Complete results below. Rest up and see'ya tomorrow.

Well. I thought I would be writing here to apologise for Matt that my stupid mistake made us get eliminated, but instead we came second. Big thanks to Matt of course, as he was the one who saved us after I almost got us eliminated with my stupid error. I am just glad I was given the chance to make amends. |

That's an amazing performance after the first meh route info! Though I don't like all the dnfs in the last legs, Detour de France would have probably got the 3rd place and that is ruining the game.
But the best thing is that I'm confirming myself as the flashgame undisputed king

Welcome to the 12th and final leg of The Amazing Race!
The game clocks are reset and I will give you $100.
Keep track of your own money because if you spend money
you don't have you will incur a 60 minute penalty.
Keeping with cycling tradition, the biggest race finishes in:
So we will too! Onto the plane for the last time. Good Luck and Race Safe!
Air Travel: Venice to Paris
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.
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.
