Okay, with a route as close together and with departure times totally separated as possible, I had to resort to RIGGING spicing things up similar to what happened to All Stars... I'm ok with the bunching, but what I'm NOT OK with is turning a lead into a lag. It would've been a thousand times better to search for the gnome and AFTERWARDS signing up for a departure time IN ORDER after finding the gnome. THIS RIGGING IS TOTALLY SMILEY! </rant> |

I concur with Dan. The order we depart should be the order we find the gnomes! Plus, teams should be allowed to forfeit their gnome and search for one with an earlier departure.

So yeah, you were with a lot of teams, unfortunately, Ann and Mitchell got a TRG first, followed by Azaria and Hendekea and Hannah and Margalit. Thus, you were left out before they got it. |

The first batch of teams arrive at the local bus station @ 8:00 PM...Welcome to Vizag! This city is known as the "City of Destiny" and the "epic city" mentioned in the two most influential books of Hinduism.
Now, make your way by taxi to the Vizag Steel Plant Township in order to receive your next clue. Task 4: INTRODUCTION TO BARGAINING!
So yeah, after five grueling legs, we now come to one new twist! begging! This task is simple:
whenever you see the word BARGAIN, each of the post it commands, like everywhere such as South Africa, the Iraq and the Asian countries this:
*Taxi to Location! [-100 INR, + 10 minutes]*
100 INR is the base amount, with a base time, which can be added or subtracted depending on the money.
You may change the number (increase or decrease) of currency you need to pay for the said transport. Note of course, the higher the payment, the faster your time is, the lower it is, erm, the slower your transport will take.
The transport time system will be revealed after all teams have bargained.
BARGAIN:
Post: *Ride a taxi to the steel township! [-400 INR, + 25 minutes; + 4 minutes]*
Minimum payment: 200 INR;
TASK 4:
The plant is spread across a sprawling _____ km² but only _____ km² are used so far. The rest is still pristine shrub forest land. This beautiful and well planned township for the employees of the plant is called _____, which means _____ in Telugu.[/b] DEADLINE: 36 hours from now.[/size] Additional Race Information
--------------------------------------
Only one person needs to PM the answers for Route Information tasks UNLESS stated.
If you answer the questions wrong, you will incur a lost zone penalty. The penalty for commuting and missing a route info task is 5 minutes. Each blank corresponds to five minutes.
Begging Rate: NONE. Since India is a rather developing nation, you will NOT receive any begging amounts for the leg/s held in India
All money used during this leg will be in Indian Rupees (INR). Use www.xe.com to convert your cash and round up all your to the nearest units.

*Ride a taxi to the steel township! [-400 INR, + 25 minutes; + 4 minutes]* 38840 +218 USD = 38440 INR + 218 USD Hannah: No bargains for now! We have a decent lead. Margalit: Yeah, that'll be awesome if our lead holds to this. ----
Uycocoa, I'll do the roadblock since you'll be on a field trip
*(Hannah) is steely!*
Hannah: I think I'm inclined with the steel.
Margalit: I love gold, silver and bronze, not steel.
Hannah: I didn't even realize that this place has lots of steel.
Margalit: It's so obvious from the point that our minds turned decent. |
