Leon & Butters
AVO & Black Marcus

For those wondering on the format I haven't 100% finalised it as yet but my thoughts at this stage are each round will be set in a particular exotic location in the world. The round will consist of two parts

1. A challenge specific to that particular region (most likely to be trivia quiz, word puzzle, etc)

2. Pit Stop challenge - Once each team gets the correct response to me I will then send them the next part which will generally be some kind of logic puzzle

First team to get the correct answer back to me is the winner of that round and will get a head start on the next round. Similar to the show last place may be eliminated or may simply get a delayed start on the next round.

Do both members of the team have to send you the correct answer, or is that a given?

no I just require either member of the team to provide me the correct answer.

Can we send two seperate answers? And are our answers finalized once sent?

One answer per team, If you both answer I will take the one that I receive first.

The answer is set until I come back to you with a response. As soon as I log on and receive your answer I will advise if it is correct or incorrect. If incorrect you can try again but you must wait half an hour after my response before submitting another answer (to stop people from spamming me when I am online).

Obviously when I am online to check answers is going to have an impact on the race outcome but I guess this just simulates the luck factor of the actual show, where you never know who is going to get the psychotic cab driver that can get you through the race in a quarter of the time.

Assuming we are not going to get more entrants we have 6 teams and the race will have 7 rounds. With 5 elimination rounds and 2 where the last team get another chance. You will not know until after the last team finishes if it is an elimination round or not.
