Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What class in an airplane should teams purchase?

Answer: Economy

The reason for economy is First Class is more expensive for the production. However, they may get First or Business Class as long as they paid for economy.

2. What happens if a team's car breaks down through no fault of themselves?

Answer: They get a replacement vehicle

If a team's car breaks down even though it wasn't their fault, they will get a replacement vehicle. However a time credit will not be given for this situation.

3. On seasons 7-9, what happened if you came to the pit stop last on a non-elimination leg?

Answer: You got your money and luggage taken away

Also, you won't receive any money for the next leg and you have to start the next leg with no money. In season 10, the penalty was different. You would have to come in first on the next leg or incur a 30 minute penalty.

4. Which of these offences does not give you a time penalty of 30 minutes (plus time gained if any)?

Answer: Quitting a roadblock

Quitting a roadblock is a penalty for 4 hours. This happened to Rob and Amber, Deana and Ray, and Meredith and Gretchen because they refused to eat an Argentinan meal consisting of cow organs.

5. What is the penalty of switching Detour options?

Answer: Nothing

It's okay to switch a Detour because you don't know what the other task is like. Actually the only penalty is naturally lost time.

6. What must you do if you see your picture on the Yield sign and you haven't used it?

Answer: Wait for an hourglass to run out

If you want to Yield a team, put a picture of the team you want to yield on the Yield Sign. However you may only use one yield in the race.

7. Which team of season 3 got eliminated via penalty?

Answer: Heather and Eve

Heather and Eve took a taxi to the pit stop instead of walking, were given a penalty of 37 minutes, and were eliminated. Although Andre and Damon took the shortcut penalty, they weren't eliminated.

8. In the seasons 1-7 and 9, the teams are supplied a credit card. What is the credit card for purchasing?

Answer: Airline tickets

All other purchases besides tickets must be paid with money supplied to them. In season 8, the credit card was for airline tickets and gasoline since they did a lot of driving.

9. If a team gets injured, which of the following possible outcomes can't happen?

Answer: A Time Credit

In season 5, Marshall and Lance couldn't finish a roadblock because of a knee injury and had to forfeit. Phil had to go to them and eliminate them.

10. As of season 6, what is the maximum number of roadblocks a team member may perform?

Answer: 6

The reason is that in season 5, the three final teams were coed. The males had done 12 or 11 roadblocks and the girls did only one. This rule was enforced in season 6.

11. What happens if a team arrives at the Pit Stop without completing all tasks or getting all clues?

Answer: They must finish their task before checking in

In season 3, Derek and Drew couldn't find the roadblock clue and had to finish it and got eliminated. In season 5, Chip and Kim and Kami and Karli couldn't find their Detour clue and had to find it before checking in.

12. In season 9, which team got eliminated without being given a penalty although they should have got one?

Answer: Lake and Michelle

Lake and Michelle took a bus to a train station when they had to take a train, but it didn't matter since they arrived last at the pit stop. Although BJ and Tyler (or the hippies) got the penalty, it didn't affect their placement.

13. In season 9, who came in last place on 2 non-elimination legs?

Answer: BJ and Tyler

On the second non-elimination leg, they got their cash, shoes, and pants taken away! This didn't stop them from winning the race!

14. What colors are the traditional route markers?

Answer: Red and Yellow

In seasons 2-7, 9, it was this color. In the first, it was yellow and white, but it was changed to be spotted easier. In the family edition, it was silver and yellow. In one season 3 episode, the flag was yellow as to avoid confusion with the Vietnamese flag.

15. If a team finishes a fast forward before you, can you still complete it?

Answer: No

Only one team may use a Fast Forward. Also once a team uses a Fast Forward, they may never use another one for the rest of the race. So they need to decide when it's most "advantageous" to go for it.
