Even if you do have to run and dig and memorize and poke with a stick, that's not "brilliant". It's just first grade math, everybody knows
how to do it, the trick is you have to stay focused in all the excitement of the challenge. Maybe there's some Euler-like way to circumvent the whole
calculation? That would be brilliant. Or if JT and Stephen conspire so that each of them only has to memorize half. That would be brilliant AND conniving.

Perhaps the answers spell out a quote and Stephen recognizes it and fills it in without doing the math.

That would be brilliant AND conniving. hmm, I posted that idea a couple of times at Survivor Blows yesterday (and I don't expect you would have read it), but it didn't get much support. http://community.realitytvworld.com/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/rtvw2/community/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=7205&forum=DCForumID2&omm=66 http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID2/7209.shtml#1 I came up with the thought after other posters spec'd that Nash was the "book" and cooperation could be the key. Stephen and JT, placed next to each other, are in great position to share information. I like that you are thinking that independently. ed to make the links clickable |

BL, I LOVE that! - "brains and brawn" needed to win (nobody left has both... this pair has both) - city slicker/country boy vidcap - side-by-side at possible final component (close enough to look at the others board, I'd say) - JT/Stephen hug plus, it totally goes with their edits of being a perfect complementary match to each other, and to work together as a pair. *if* they did that and got away with it unscathed (as they did with Tyson's blindside), it wouldn't surprise me with this particular group. ---- edit to add: OFGtheory, want to be in an alliance with BL and me when we all make it on the show in the same season?

No, I haven't been over there I think at all this season. Alas, I tend to take the promo monkeys way too seriously. Probably will be no books, no brilliance.... |

Didn't TDT say he thinks JT and Stephen are reading the operators as they write, when they look up?
Then do they run over to the books and run back to the tables? But not through the obstacle course? Trying to get a picture of this. birdlady, I only mentioned that I didn't think you had been reading Blows so as to be clear I wasn't snippily saying, I already posted that! I still like the idea. I don't take JP very seriously, but there's usually some kernel of substance to his descriptions. OK, not always. His Exile Island talk was full of it. LOL, jessiiiek, shhh, it won't be secret if I say yes. btw, I am just OFG (or Outfrontgirl). Yuku screwed up my old account super bad so I had to reregister and my old "name" was taken, by myself. The theory addition was just a joke. |

Nice idea on JT and Stephen working together OFG...welcome back to MESS.

Thanks crocophile!
We can see from the press photos posted in "riddles" by Mayan Sun that the spinning books aren't behind the solving stations. They must be on the other end of the course then, which means a lot of memorization for ONE person, or a few trips across that course. I'm puzzled though, with the digging portion, how that would be repeated, if something is to be dug up? |

I think they have to dig a path under the first board...they may have to go back under it each time...

Buzzkill, that was my first thought, until someone here talked about digging stuff up.
I wasn't sure if the ground wouldn't collapse on them. But yeah, there is sand all over Stephen's face ... |

You all are looney tunes! You waste all that time with VG's stupid clues that mean nothing but when she posts stuff that helps like with this challenge you
don't use it? Looney tunes!

Sounds like someone got into the helium a couple of weeks early...
I think they just have to keep slithering through the hole they dug under the bar. Going and coming, I guess? They'll be slither pros by the time they're done. I guess going footfirst like JT is better, because you can sorta pull yourself with your arms on the bar, as opposed to going headfirst and sorta swimming in the sand. |

Anytime I've watched them have to go under stuff, I've always thought going on your stomach would be better, just because if you're on your back
you need to have more room for your legs, unless you have knees that bend the wrong way.
