Amazing Race 15 Trivia

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 15" [5]

Answer: Tallinn

Opening their clues after a twelve hour Pit Stop at Bogs Gard Farm in Vasby, Sweden, teams found a large chain of keys and a bit of Route Info telling them to head to Stockholm and catch a ferry across the Baltic Sea to the capital city of Estonia, Tallinn, approximately 230 miles away. Because the ferry departed once per day, all five teams were on even ground arriving in the country the following day. Once there, teams hopped into taxis to take them through the city to the 'secret society' headquarters known as Mustpeade Maja and they used their keys to enter the building.

Answer: Amsterdam

In the beginning of Leg 9, teams departed from Atlantis, The Palm in Palm Jumeirah, Dubai in the afternoon and were informed that they would need to make their way more than three thousand miles to the city of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Due to a midnight flight, all six teams were bunched onto the same plane. Once in Amsterdam, teams needed to hop into luxury cars and drive themselves to Afsluitdijk, a causeway in the countryside, where they could find their next clue box at the base of a statue of Cornelis Lely.

Answer: Cambodia

In Leg 5, teams started their journey at Wat Phnom in Cambodia, one of the largest temples in Phnom Penh. Here, teams ripped open their clues in the morning and were told to travel to the Persian Gulf to sign up for a shuttle outside the world's tallest building. Teams needed to deduce that they would be heading to the city of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. To do this, all eight teams took the same plane from Phnom Penh to Bangkok, Thailand, and then to their next destination. Upon arriving, teams signed up for one of two departure times on a board at the Dubai Fountain.

Answer: Ho Chi Minh City

Teams checked into a Pit Stop aboard the Bassac III Riverboat in Cai Be, Vietnam for their second leg of the race, and while the ten teams remaining waited out their rest time, their lodgings would be moved along the Mekong Delta. Rather than depart from the boat in the village of Cai Be, teams were dropped off unknowingly in My Tho. Teams departing from here were told to find the Golden Dragon Water Puppet Theatre for their next clue though they needed to discover that this could only be found two hours away (by taxi) in Ho Chi Minh City.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 15" [1]

Answer: Los Angeles

In the beginning of this fifteenth race, twelve teams arrived in Los Angeles, California and stood in the Sixth Street Viaduct where their race would begin. As usual, Phil informed them that the first to cross the finish line would win one million dollars, several tasks would be en route to this final destination, and most of them would not make it all the way. And then there was a catch. The first team would be eliminated without even leaving the viaduct. Urp!

From Quiz Road Blocks of "The Amazing Race 15"

Answer: Ducks

In leg 2, teams made their way to a field in the village of Cai Be to complete a Road Block task, the first in the race. For this task, one member of each team was required to enter a marked pen and herd one hundred fifty ducks over a bridge to the other side of the enclosure, then back into their holding area at the start. If the selected team member completed this within ten minutes they'd receive their clue, otherwise they would need to start again when another pen had opened up for them. Pens were first-come-first-serve. Meghan, Jessica, Ericka, Tiffany, Sam, Jessica, Marcy, Flight Time, Zev, Matt, and Keri finished the task before going to the Pit Stop aboard the Bassac III Riverboat.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 15" [6]

Answer: FRANZ

After arriving at the Spanish Synagogue, teams were told to take a taxi to Ekotechnicke Museum in Prague where one member of each team would need to complete a Kafkaesque Road Block challenge. In this task, Meghan, Sam, Big Easy, and Brian needed to enter an absurd room containing hundreds of old telephones, only five of which would have someone on the other line to give them a letter. Once they accumulated the five letters, team members would head to an office to fill out a long list of questions. At the bottom of the form, they would need to rearrange their five letters to spell the name Franz (a la Kafka) and to receive their clue. Otherwise, they needed to fill out the form again.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 15" [5]

Answer: Gary and Matt

Arriving at Mustpeade Maja in Tallinn, Gary and Matt, who placed last in the previous (non-elimination) leg of the race, were required to complete their mandatory Speed Bump task, setting them back on the race course. For this task, they needed to locate a saunabuss parked on a nearby street, strip down, and enjoy a five minute sit in a sauna vehicle before redressing and proceeding on the course. The rest of the teams did not need to complete this task.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 15" [4]

Answer: Ericka

After finding the clue box in Afsluitdijk, teams were told to drive to the nearby city of Groningen to find the Martinitoren, a tall bell tower overlooking the city. Here, one member of each team was required to complete a Road Block. For this task, the selected member needed to ascend to the top levels of the tower (by the narrow stairwells) and count the bells inside before presenting their number to the bellkeeper and receiving their next clue. This number would turn out to be sixty-two. Meghan, Sam, Matt, Tiffany, Flight Time, and Ericka completed this task and continued on.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 15" [3]

Answer: Meghan and Cheyne

The next morning, teams were led to the Burj Dubai (later renamed the Burj Khalifa) to ascend to the 120th floor of the building, still under construction, and open the clue box containing their next clue. This would include the only Fast Forward task for this "Amazing Race". For this task, which Meghan and Cheyne decided to complete, the participating team needed to visit the Dubai Autodrome where one member was required to hop into a Formula Three racer and complete one lap of the track in under forty-five seconds. Because Meghan and Cheyne completed the task, they were allowed to skip all tasks and proceed directly to the next Pit Stop of the race in a Maserati.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 15" [2]

Answer: Dragon

When teams arrived at the Golden Dragon Water Puppet Theatre, they needed to go inside to claim their clue hidden in the mouth of one of several dragon puppets swimming in the water inside (though some teams danced for their clue for some reason instead). What they found was a flag and a bullet attached to it. When teams opened the bullet they would unfurl a stamp which would lead them to their next destination, the Ho Chi Minh City Post Office, where they would be able to locate their next clue box.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 15" [1]

Answer: Eric and Lisa

As soon as teams were given the go ahead, they would be able to head to their bags located down the viaduct and open their first clue requiring that teams fly to Tokyo, Japan. To do this, however, teams needed to face off against a wall of hundreds of license plates and search for one of only eleven containing the Japanese kanji symbol for Shinagawa (which was shown at the top of their clues). Teams would then need to go to Phil at the mat and receive their tickets to Tokyo, but only if they picked the right plate. Eric and Lisa were the only team to leave empty-handed, and they became the first team eliminated from the race (and the quickest in the race's history).

From Quiz Road Blocks of "The Amazing Race 15"

Answer: VCRs

In Leg 3, teams traveled by taxi to Dien Co 008 for their Road Block task and discovered that one member of each team needed to get their hands dirty to tear apart two VCRs for recycling purposes. Once that member not only disassembled both VCRs but sorted their components in to three different piles, they would be handed their next clue by the store owner. This task was completed by Cheyne, Flight Time, Matt, Brian, Sam, Tiffany, Justin, Canaan, Lance, and Ron before they headed to the third Pit Stop at Ho Chi Minh City's Reunification Palace.

From Quiz Detours of "The Amazing Race 15"

Answer: One

In Ho Chi Minh City, teams found their Detour clue waiting outside the Ho Chi Minh City Post Office. This required a choice between 'Child's Play' and 'Word Play'. In 'Child's Play', teams traveled to a city park and needed to transport large, plaster animal statues on a path through the area to a children's playground. En route they needed to collect five balloons of different colours and hand all of these in to claim their next clue. In 'Word Play', teams climbed to the roof of a city building and looked to the traffic below to find six Vietnamese letters which could be unscrambled to spell the word 'Doc Lap', the Vietnamese word for 'independence'. Once they found the six letters, they could get help from locals to spell the word. Only Marcy and Ron completed the 'Word Play' task while the other nine teams finished 'Child's Play'.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 15" [5]

Answer: A candelabra

At Mustpeade Maja, teams found a clue box containing their Road Block clue for this leg of the race. For this task, one member of each team needed to head into the secret society and find a table containing candelabras, one of which they needed to choose. Once they found the room number associated with a tag on their candelabra, they needed to use their item to read the secret message written on a piece of parchment in invisible ink. This told racers to head to their next clue box at Pikk Hermann Tower Garden in Tallinn. Cheyne, Sam, Ericka, Flight Time, and Matt completed this task.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 15" [4]

Answer: Bicycles

After the Road Block, teams needed to drive to the town of Vierhuizen to locate a specific windmill at which their next clue box would be located. This would be the teams' Detour. Before attempting their respective tasks, teams first needed to don costumes of a traditional Dutch man and woman including wooden clogs, then they needed to bike to the intersection at which their task could be accessed. Brian and Ericka ended up not riding bikes to the Detour and thus faced a thirty minute time penalty.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 15" [3]

Answer: Water

Teams not completing the Fast Forward after visiting the Burj Dubai were told to find one of the marked cars on the P2 level of the Dubai Mall. From here, teams would need to drive themselves through the city streets of Dubai and into the desert to locate the Margham Sand Dunes at the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve. Upon their arrival they would hop into a marked 4x4 shuttle and reach their next clue box containing a Road Block on the desert dunes. For this Road Block, one member of each team needed to brave the desert heat and search for one of several urns buried to their rims in the sand in the area. When they found one with water they would need to use a ladle to scoop it into a pouch and return the full pouch to a camel owner to receive their next clue. Brian, Tiffany, Dan, Big Easy, Matt, Canaan, and Lance finished this task.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 15" [2]

Answer: Marcy and Ron

At the Post Office, teams found a Detour task allowing for a choice between either 'Child's Play' and 'Word Play'. In 'Child's Play', teams needed to head to a marked stall in Tao Dan Park and transport a plaster animal sculpture across the park's difficult paths (on a dolly) while claiming five coloured balloons along the way. When teams handed off their balloons and statue to a woman at the playground, they would get their next clue. In 'Word Play', teams headed to the roof of a nearby building and searched the streets below for six different Vietnamese letters which, when unscrambled, would spell 'Doc Lap', the Vietnamese word for 'independence'. This would result in their next clue. Only Marcy and Ron completed this task while all others completed 'Child's Play'.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 15" [1]

Answer: Two

After claiming their tickets from Phil, teams drove themselves to LAX in Los Angeles to catch their respective flights. The first six teams took an earlier flight while the remaining five teams were scheduled to arrive a half hour later. When teams arrived in Tokyo, it turned out that the second flight arrived only eight minutes after the first, placing teams on an even playing field as they reached a Tokyo Tower TV station. When teams arrived here they were in for a wacky time.

From Quiz Road Blocks of "The Amazing Race 15"

Answer: Cambodia

Arriving at Wat Toul Tom Pong in Phnom Penh, Cambodia in Leg 4, teams were told to select one member who could monkey around. For this task, the chosen member needed to put on a monkey mask and a tail and mimic the local monkey actors hired by the royal family to pay tribute to their most revered creatures, monkeys. Once the selected team member copied three monkey techniques and acted like a monkey they received their next clue directing them to the Pit Stop at Wat Phnom. Zev, Dan, Flight Time, Ericka, Meghan, Gary, Keri, Canaan, and Maria completed this task.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 15" [6]

Answer: Thirty

Teams not choosing the 'Legend' Detour task needed to finish 'Lager'. In this task, Brian and Ericka needed to head to a brewery in the city to receive trays and glasses of beer. They then needed to transport thirty glasses to a bar across town. This task proved to be difficult as teams needed to have good dexterity and enough patience to avoid the late night/early morning bar crowds enough to deliver all of the glasses to their destination and receive their next clue.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 15" [5]

Answer: 'Serve'

After finding the next clue box at Pikk Hermann Tower Garden, teams were told to take a taxi to the rural town of Keava to find Keava Raba, a bog where they would need to follow a marked path to locate their next task, a Detour. For this, teams needed to choose either 'Serve' or 'Sling'. In 'Serve', teams needed to face off against Estonian volleyball players in knee-deep mud. Once racers scored five points against the opposing team they could receive their next clue. Meghan and Cheyne, Sam and Dan, and Big Easy and Flight Time completed this task. In 'Sling', teams headed to the same spot, donned bog shoes, and walked to a nearby slingshot range where they needed to work together to hit one target, a far-away sign, to receive their next clue. Brian and Ericka and Gary and Matt completed this task.

Answer: Herring

For the Detour, teams either chose 'Farmers Game' or 'Farmers Dance'. In the former of these, completed by Meghan and Cheyne, Sam and Dan, and Gary and Matt, teams needed to strip down to their Dutch underwear and swim across a cold stream to a field at which they could play a game of gold with clogs on sticks and large balls. Once they hit the ball into three holes staying at a par of eight per hole, they could receive their next clue. In 'Farmers Dance', teams had to begin by striking a high striker strength test then advancing into a barn to learn a traditional dance. Once teams performed that dance they would have to eat a soused herring in onions to receive their next clue. The remaining teams completed this task.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 15" [3]

Answer: Two

After the Road Block, teams were told to drive back into the city of Dubai and to beat the heat at Ski Dubai, an indoor ski hill the length of four football fields. Inside, teams found the Detour clue requiring a choice between 'Build a Snowman' and 'Find a Snowman'. In 'Build a Snowman', teams needed to gather snow and bring it outside into the extreme heat to build a snowman like one shown on a model nearby. Once they built the snowman to the satisfaction of their attendant they would receive their next clue. In 'Find a Snowman', teams took a chairlift to the top of the hill and used sleds to ride down to a set of marked snow piles. Teams needed to search these piles for a miniature snowman which could be traded for their next clue. Flight Time and Big Easy and Brian and Ericka found their snowmen and while others tried this task, the other five teams completed the 'Build a Snowman' task.

Answer: Marcy

Upon arriving at the Tokyo Tower, teams were presented with 'Sushi Roulette', a Japanese game show which began as soon as all eleven teams arrived. Although not presented as a Road Block, this task required that one member of each team participate. The host would spin the roulette wheel, and whatever sushi landed in front of the player would need to be eaten within two minutes. If the player landed on one of two wasabi bombs, they would need to finish it in the designated time to receive their next clue. Maria and Brian needed to do this twice as they could not finish the task on their first try.

Answer: Ski Dubai

After a romp through the Margham Sand Dunes outside of the metropolitan area of Dubai, teams traveled into the city to receive a clue at Ski Dubai, an indoor ski hill in the heart of the desert. Here, teams chose either 'Build a Snowman' or 'Find a Snowman'.

Maria and Tiffany, Gary and Matt, Mika and Canaan, Sam and Dan, and Lance and Keri did this. In 'Find a Snowman', Brian and Ericka and Flight Time and Big Easy sledded down the hill in Ski Dubai and searched in large piles of snow for a small snowman which could be traded for their next clue.
