featherfish81 424 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Daytime Soap Guest Star" 10-10-13, 00:31 AM (EST) "TAR 23 Detours" I'm not sure I'll be able to keep this up all season, but I like this thread, so I'll try. So the question is - if you were on the race, which of the detours would you have chosen to do? This week, your choice is: Mining - Smash a salt block until you find the clue -or- Brining - Add salt to a pool of water until you float Normally I don't go for the physical task, but I think I would have gone with mining. Brining was still a physical task, and involved more uncertainty. (Not to mention the cold bath).   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

The mining could have turned out to be disastrous. Such a small clue - I was worried for them, but it worked out okay. I was thinking brining would have been faster - just lug as many bags as you could and get it over with!

"RE: TAR 23 Detours - Portugal" This week, two mental tasks: Miles - Measure the distance Magellan traveled in his trip AROUND the earth -or- Tiles - Complete a puzzle made from tiles While I like puzzles so my initial choice would have been tiles, hopefully I would have realized that the miles task was more up my ally (and faster) and chosen that one.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: TAR 23 Detours - Portugal" I'm not great in math, but I think I'd be good enough (and hope to have a partner good enough) to handle the Miles task, so I'd probably go for that.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

This week, your fish related tasks: Hang Your Heads - string a bunch of fish and then hang them out to dry -or- Hammer the Cods - Retrieve 30 fish from a drying rack then pound them to obtain fish jerky I would have been fooled - hammering the cods didn't seem like it would take that long especially compared to wheeling them all of the way up the hill, so I would have chosen that.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Your choice (sorry, I don't have their official names) Polka - Dance a traditional dance -or- Statue - Wear a Neptune costume and stand there until passers by give you money I would have definitely gone with the dancing. I'm fairly coordinated (at least by race standards) and standing there in the plaza involved a lot of luck.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: TAR 23 Detours - Austria" This week, your choices: Light Brigade - Assemble a chandelier -or- Masquerade - Dress up and find matching masks Initially, while they were describing building the chandelier, I thought I would pick that, because I usually go for the mental task. But when I found out they would smash it if it was wrong and I heard what the other task was, I would definitely have gone with masquerade. While a search task, it was a small area, and definitely had the potential to go quickly.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: TAR 23 Detours - UAE" Your choice: Sort it out - arrange a platter full of dates and figs -or- Sew it up - put together a fishing net I think I would have gone with the fishing net.

Belle Book 3608 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Thong Contest Judge" 11-11-13, 12:38 PM (EST) 18. "RE: TAR 23 Detours - UAE" Both would have been tough. I'm not exactly a great sewer and I'm great with spotting little details, but the fishing net seemed quicker. I'd probably either flip a coin or just let my partner decide which was the easier Detour.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: TAR 23 Detours - UAE Part 2" This week, your choice: Wedding Guests - follow recipe and prepare a platter of food and serve to wedding guests if approved -or- Beauty Contest - identify a prize winning camel and dress it up in finery I think I would initially have gone with wedding guests, since it seemed less subjective than trying to find a good camel. But once I saw how much chopping was involved, and knowing that the other one was right around the corner, I might have switched.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Your choice Knock it Down - Compete in a Japanese game show called Human Bowling and knock down pins -or- Call it Up - Submerge yourself in a tank of water, listen to a message, and tell it to the judge I would have gone with Call it Up. It seemed easier, especially since they weren't very picky about the Japanese pronunciation (if they even had to give that part of the phrase at all).
