Detours of "The Amazing Race 4" Quiz

Answer: A mountain

In the first Detour task of the race, teams made their way to Cinque Torri in the Italian Alps. once they took a chairlift to the top, they needed to find a clue box containing their Detour options, 'Search' and 'Rescue'. 'Search' required that players make their way to a large field on the mountain to search for a key buried in the snow with a navigational device. Once players found this, they needed to use it to drive a snowmobile across the mountain to their next clue box. None of the teams chose this task.

Instead, eleven teams participated in the 'Rescue' task which required that they first cross a wire cable bridge and then take a zipline across a ravine to reach their next clue box. After the Detour, teams made their way to the first Pit Stop: The Hotel Lajadira.

Answer: True

Once at the Ponte Della Guglia Bridge in Venice, teams were given a Detour task consisting of 'Pathway' and 'Waterway'. In 'Pathway', teams needed to navigate the narrow streets of Venice to find a clue box in a particular plaza. In 'Waterway', however, teams needed to make their way by gondola, and using a map, find the same plaza location in the city. Only Millie and Chuck and Kelly and Jon completed the 'Pathway' Detour task while the remaining nine teams took on the gondolas.

After the Detour, teams made their way to Palazzo de Matzo for a Road Block task.

Answer: Bass violin

Teams arrived at Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna, Austria to find the Detour awaiting them. In 'Mozart', teams needed to carry a bass violin six miles to the location where Mozart composed "The Marriage of Figaro". Once there, they would retrieve their next clue.

In 'Beethoven', teams needed to take a portfolio of sheet music approximately eleven miles to a lesser-known residence of Beethoven across town. Only Kelly and Jon performed the latter task. After the Detour, teams were told to make their way to the Donauturm across the city.

Answer: Five

In the Detour in Leg 5, teams headed out from the Scheepvaart Museum in Amsterdam and selected either '15 Feet' in which teams traveled twelve miles to a ranch where they needed to search a 15 foot pile of cow dung for their clue, or '500 Kilograms' in which they needed to head thirty miles to a town where they needed to wear wooden clogs and transfer 500 kilograms of cheese onto a scale using a wooden transport device. Jon and Al, Jon and Kelly, Monica and Sheree, David and Jeff, and Tian and Jaree completed the '15 Feet' task while Steve and Dave and Reichen and Chip completed '500 Kilograms'.

After the Detour, teams went to the town of Monnickendam for a Road Block task.

Answer: Duds

In Leg 6, teams arrived in Mumbai, India and found "Bollywood". Once in one of the studios, teams were told to choose either 'Duds' or 'Suds', both of which required that they take a train to one of two destinations. In 'Duds', teams needed to locate a hard-to-find sari shop and search through hundreds of saris for one containing their next destination. Jon and Al completed this task.

In 'Suds', teams needed to find an outdoor laundry area and clean a bag of dirty clothes to find one garment with the clue written on the fabric.

The remaining six teams did this task. After the Detour, teams drove across Mumbai to Sassoon Docks.

Answer: Five

In Leg 7, teams found themselves in Alleppey, India on Beach Road where they located the Detour task. This Detour required a decision between 'Baskets' and 'Trunks'. In 'Baskets', teams needed to take a bike and cart and take a total of ten chickens to a specific house in the village.

In 'Trunks', on the other hand, teams needed to ride an elephant to a shop across town to deliver two large bundles of coir. While almost all of the teams completed 'Trunks', Reichen and Chip completed 'Baskets' and edged in at the Pit Stop in second-to-last place (after trailing through the whole leg).

Answer: Malaysia

Heading out from the Poring Hot Springs in Malaysia, teams drove to the Detour task at Trushidup Palm Oil Plantation in Sandakan. Once there, teams chose between 'Haul' and 'Chop'. In 'Haul', completed by Jon and Al, David and Jeff, and Millie and Chuck, teams needed to take twenty-five palm nut bundles (about twenty-five pounds each) using a wheelbarrow and toss them into the back of a large truck.

In 'Chop', which Kelly and Jon decided to do, teams needed to use a hooked instrument to cut nut bundles out of trees.

While some of these contained a clue, some of them were duds, forcing players to keep searching. After the Detour, teams made their way tot he Road Block at Gomantong Caves.

Answer: 'Strong Stomach'

Heading through Seoul's subway system in Leg 10, teams needed to choose between 'Strong Stomach', in which they needed to go to a nearby Korean restaurant and eat a bowl of still-living octopus in order to claim their clue. Reichen and Chip were the only team to be able to do this.

The other three teams completed 'Strong Hands' in which a each team member needed to break through three sets of wooden boards with their bare hands. Once this was done, teams could go to the Pit Stop, Geunjeongjeon Hall in Gyeongbokgung Palace, Seoul.

Answer: False

As teams raced to Brisbane, Australia, they were told to head to the Penthouse Suite of the Holiday Inn where they would find the Detour, a choice between 'Feet First' and 'Face First'. In 'Feet First', teams would've needed to run down the stairs of the building, across a couple blocks of Brisbane, and back up another thirty stories to the roof of a different building to find their next clue. All participants completed 'Face First' though in which teams needed to perform a face-first rappel two hundred meters down the side of the Holiday Inn.

After this, teams drove to Mooloolaba.

Answer: 'Wander It'

This final Detour task took teams to Cairns General Airport in Cairns, Australia. For the Detour, all three teams chose 'Wing It' in which they needed to hop into a plane, head to ten thousand feet, and skydive in tandem with an instructor to their next clue box.

In 'Wander It' however, teams would have needed to drive to a mangrove farm, search for a boat, and drive the boat to the landing zone. This task would've taken a much longer time. After the Detour, teams made their way to Hawaii for some more tasks before heading back tot he Continental United States.
