Episode 13: Answers 

First = WINNERS: Linz [30 + Winner points]

Second: Bransen [30]

Last: Weaver [30]

Titleist: Phil [13]

RBers: Wally, Nick [4 pts. each, 16 pts. if both correct] (Weaver guesses will not be scored (I hear they didn't even do the RB anyways)) 
 

Bonus Questions: 

1. Who speaks first in the "where is" conversation? Answer: Rebecca [13/3 for any Weaver] 

2. Who says, "I'm like Popeye"? Answer: Tommy [13/3 for any Linz] 

3. Who says, "I'm done running.  I never wanna run again in my entire life"? Answer: Megan [13/3 for any Linz] 

4. Who says, "They're smart, competitive, and they're pretty good-looking too"? Answer: Alex [13/3 for any Linz] 

5. Who says, "Us working together to accomplish goals—that's more special to me than any money"? Answer: Rachel [13/3 for any Weaver] 

6. One of the tasks in this episode is to complete a puzzle.  How many pieces are in the puzzle?

Answer: 71 [8 for the countries south of the US, 13 for Canada, 1 for Alaska, 2 for Michigan, and 47 for the other 47 continental US states]

Scoring: 120 points for the closest guess; 90 for the second closest; and 60 for third. 
 

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!
