Delayed Bonus Question Episode Tallies:
clues: 5 [clue from Toronto airport to CN Tower, Detour clue in parking lot, clue to Niagara Falls buoy, buoy clue to Lewiston, RB clue]
rides: 9 [cab to airport, charter flight to Toronto, drive to CN tower, elevator to top, elevator down, drive to parking lot (Detour clue), drive to Detour Location [dock or shoe museum), drive to Queenstown, jet boat to buoy, (jet boat to Lewiston)]
miles: 436 [10 to Saint-Hubert airport, 323 to Toronto Island airport, 1 to CN Tower, about 2 to Detour clue, 3 to Detour location, 80 to Queenstown, about 17 in boat]*
*Since it was clear which airports were used in this episode and there were no intermediate stops, it was much easier to get the air mileage from www.milemaven.com. The 17 boat miles was estimated using maps from www.whirlpooljet.com and local area maps; all other land distances not provided by Phil were calculated with www.randmcnally.com. One could add another 4 miles for the Bransens' route (since their detour choice was a little farther away).
Final Tallies:
clues: 18 (6 + 7 + 5)
rides: 25 (7 + 9 +9)
miles: about 2624 (386 + 1802 + 436) [as long as the distance is between 2500 and 2750, the scores should stay the same]
Stay tuned for the final scores!
