From Quiz "The Amazing Race 16" [6]

Answer: China

Teams left their tenth Pit Stop in front of the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum in Shanghai, China and realized that Leg 11 of the race would remain in this metropolis. For their first task, teams needed to travel to the Garden Bridge, a location which would be better known to locals as Waibaidu Bridge. Some teams took several hours to accomplish this. Upon their arrival, teams needed to proceed on foot to their next clue at Longhua Temple found in the nearby streets.

Answer: Dan and Jordan

Departing from Pinang Peranakan Mansion in George Town, Malaysia in the morning, teams were told to take a taxi to the bus station, a bus to Kuala Lampur's train station, and a train to the country of Singapore to locate their next destination, the Victoria Concert Hall. Once there, teams needed to receive a clue from "The Amazing Race Asia" host, Allan Wu. One of the clues received was the race's only Fast Forward. In this task, the participating team (Dan and Jordan) had to go to the Singapore Flyer observation wheel and cross from one car to another at its highest point, 165m up. After completing this, Dan and Jordan headed straight to the next Pit Stop.

Answer: Seychelles

In the beginning of Leg 7, teams departed from L'ORCCA in Epernay, France and were told to fly from Paris to the island of Mahe in the Seychelles, a series of islands in the Indian Ocean. To do this, all teams needed to drive themselves from the Champagne region of France to the Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Paris. Because of the remoteness and lack of flights to this African nation in the Indian Ocean, all six teams were placed onto the same flight that morning.

Answer: Argentina

Opening their clues at Gruta de la Virgen in Puerto Varas, Chile, teams started this third leg of the race with the instructions to board a bus leaving the next morning from their present location heading to the city of San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina, six hours through the Andes Mountains making up the Chilean-Argentinean border. The three front-running teams (Jet and Cord, Carol and Brandy, and Joe and Heidi) took the first bus leaving at 8:30am while the remaining six teams departed twenty minutes later on the second bus. Upon arriving, teams hopped into their cars and left.

From Quiz Road Blocks of "The Amazing Race 16"

Answer: Adrian

In Leg 1, teams found their first Road block task waiting at Ascensor Villaseca in the city of Valparaíso, Chile. Here, one member of each team was selected to perform a harrowing tightrope cable-walk spanning the length of a football field. Once at the other side, they would be reunited with their partner and they could collect their next clue. Caite, Jordan, Joe, Dan, Allie, Brandy, Shawne, Adrian, Louie, Shannon, and Cord all volunteered to complete this first Road Block. Adrian was unable to complete the Road Block having fallen off the tightrope cable twice. He and Dana were eliminated from the race without arriving at the Pit Stop.

From Quiz Detours of "The Amazing Race 16"

Answer: Dress it up

In Leg 2, teams made their way to the Mirador on Isla Margarita near Puerto Varas, Chile to find their first Detour task of the race. Here, teams chose either 'Llama Adoration' or 'Condor Consternation'. In the former task, teams needed to find a llama pen on the island and use a blanket and scarf to dress up their possibly unruly llama. Jet and Cord, Carol and Brandy, Joe and Heidi, Louie and Michael, Dan and Jordan, and Jody and Shannon completed this. In the latter task, teams needed to dress up as bird and jump off a high dock to reach a buoy in the middle of the surrounding lake. Brent and Caite, Jordan and Jeff, Steve and Allie, and Monique and Shawne jumped.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 16" [1]

Answer: Los Angeles

Eleven teams commenced the sixteenth "Amazing Race" at the starting line in Vista Hermosa Natural Park and were told to make their way to LAX International Airport using public transportation. Upon arriving at the airport, teams needed to receive tickets on one of only two flights taking them to Chile that afternoon. To top that off, only three teams would be able to catch the first flight departing only an hour earlier in their next destination. That goes out the window, though; the first plane is delayed and they connect to everyone else's plane in Miami.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 16" [6]

Answer: Louie and Michael

Because Louis and Michael were the last place team arriving at the Pit Stop in Leg 10, both needed to complete a Speed Bump task in this leg of the race. Upon arriving at Longhua Temple in Shanghai, both found their Speed Bump clue asking them to head to a nearby courtyard, take a bowl of change found at the base of a state, and toss coins into the top part of an incense burner close to the temple. Once both members finished this ritual of good luck, they could return to the temple and proceed with the rest of the leg with the hope of making up their lost time.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 16" [4]

Answer: Two

Upon arriving on the island of Mahe in the Seychelles, teams were required to search for a kiosk just outside the airport terminal for their next clue and a row of numbers. Once teams took a number, they would be departing in that order only mere hours later on helicopters. The first three teams would leave one hour before the last three teams. Most of the front-runners were able to obtain earlier numbers because they vouched for seats closer to the front of the plane in Paris. When they were dropped off, teams found a Detour.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 16" [3]

Answer: Jordan and Jeff

After receiving their baguettes, team broke them open to find a clue baked inside sending them to La Main de Massiges, a trench system used in World War I. Upon their arrival, most teams found their Detour task, but Jordan and Jeff, having arrived at the previous (non-elimination) Pit Stop in last place, ended up having to complete their Speed Bump task during which they had to reinforce trench walls using large branches. After finishing this to their attendant's satisfaction, they were able to continue with the race.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 16" [2]

Answer: Five-card stud

Arriving in San Carlos de Bariloche, teams drove themselves to El Boliche Viejo, the getaway for the Hole in the Wall Gang in Argentina. Here, teams needed to play against and beat a Travelocity Roaming Gnome at a game of five-card stud poker before they could receive a smaller gnome with a clue on its base. Teams would need to bring this gnome along with them to the Pit Stop to check in as well. After this task, teams walked themselves to the next clue.

From Quiz Road Blocks of "The Amazing Race 16"

Answer: Kuchen

In Leg 2, teams headed through Southern Chile and found their Road Block task at the Bellavista Farms outside Puerto Varas. Here, one member of each team needed to search for ingredients for a dish known as kuchen. This included a plate of butter, a bowl of sugar, and a bag of flour from the kitchen pantry, thirteen eggs from a hen house, and a cup of milk from a cow in the stables. Cord, Heidi, Carol, Brent, Jeff, Monique, Steve, Jordan, Jody, and Michael gathered the ingredients and finished this task before heading to the second Pit Stop.

From Quiz Detours of "The Amazing Race 16"

Answer: Two

In Leg 3, teams completed a number of Gaucho-themed tasks in Argentina's mountain region. In 'Horse Sense', teams received compass directions and step numbers from a gunslinger and needed to use an old-time compass to locate bags of treasure semi-hidden in the ground. Once they found the correct bags (as per coordinates on the bag itself), teams needed to deliver them to a bandit at a train station to receive their clue. Only Jordan and Jeff and Monica and Shawne completed this task. In 'Horse Power', everyone else played a quick game of polo on a wooden 'practice pony'. After dressing up, teams had to hit a polo ball across a polo field in nine hits or less to get their clue. After the Detour, teams went to the Pit Stop at Estancia Fortin Chacabuco.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 16" [1]

Answer: Santiago

Arriving in Santiago, the capital city of Chile, teams made their way to the bus stop to reach Chile's second largest city, Valparaíso, where they could find their first clue box of the race. Arriving at Terminal San Borja in Santiago, many teams boarded the first bus together, but some were forced to take later buses departing only minutes later. One team, Jet and Cord, had the wrong currency altogether and needed to exchange it elsewhere. Everyone arrived in Valparaíso not long after.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 16" [6]

Answer: Buddha statues

At Longhua Temple, teams located their Road Block task for this leg of the race. In this task, one member of each team was required to head into the Arhat Hall of the temple and count out five hundred and twenty three gold statues adorning the chamber. This included hundreds of individual Buddha statues lining the walls. Teams needed to show this total to a monk to receive their next clue and if they guessed incorrectly they would need to wait ten minutes before reentering the room to count. Caite, Jet, Dan, and Louie took on this task.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 16" [5]

Answer: Brent and Caite

After the Detour, teams raced to Istana Park located at a specific intersection listed in their clue. Here, teams found the second of only two U-Turns on this race. This time, Brent and Caite, mere minutes ahead of some teams, decided to U-Turn their supposed rivals, Carol and Brandy, forcing them to turn around and complete the 'Pounding the Pavement' Detour task. After finding the clue box at Istana Park, teams headed to ASL Marine Shipyard for their next clue.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 16" [3]

Answer: 'Under Fire'

For the detour task, teams needed to dress up as American soldiers and choose either 'In the Trenches' or 'Under Fire'. In the first task, teams had to head to the nearby trench system and locate a morse code station at which they would need to use a manual and extreme patience and concentration to decode a message send via the wire. Once teams deciphered 'We will prevail. Vive la France' they would receive their next clue. Regardless, all teams chose 'Under Fire' in which they had to crawl under one hundred feet of barbed wire, receive a message saying 'The war is over. Vive la liberté', and return the way they came. Both tasks required that the message be attached to a carrier pigeon and sent to a headquarters.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 16" [2]

Answer: Steve

After some poker, teams walked in behind the tavern to Pena Gaucha where they opened up their Road Block clues for this leg. For this task, one member of each team was required to use a rope in a lasso to catch an unmoving target about twenty feet in front of them. Heidi, Carol, Jet, Jeff, Steve, Shawne, Louie, Dan, and Brent all ended up hooking their clues and moving on. After this, teams hopped back into their cars to continue to the next clue box.

From Quiz Road Blocks of "The Amazing Race 16"

In Leg 4, teams headed to Hamburg, Germany and completed a Road Block under the influence of the Intersection which forced teams to work together until further notice.

After this, team members could return to their partners and continue on un-intersected. Jet + Michael, Joe + Allie, Dan + Brandy, and Caite + Jordan completed this task.

From Quiz Detours of "The Amazing Race 16"

Answer: Germany

In Leg 4, teams found a Detour at a statue of Kaiser Wilhelm in Hamburg, Germany. For this task, teams either chose 'Soccer' or 'Sauerkraut'. In 'Soccer', Steve and Allie, Jet and Cord, Dan and Jordan, Brent and Caite, and Jordan and Jeff needed to find a soccer stadium and kick balls from the penalty line to hit five different targets. Once these were hit, they could continue on. In 'Sauerkraut', Louie and Michael, Joe and Heidi, and Carol and Brandy had to eat a large serving of sauerkraut before the polka players behind them finished their rendition of 'The Sauerkraut Polka' to get their clue. After this task, teams headed to a local bar for a boot of beer.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 16" [1]

Answer: Cord

Upon arriving in Valparaíso, teams needed to take a taxi to their first clue box waiting at Ascensor Villaseca. Here, teams located the Road Block task, the first of the race, and they needed to choose the member who had "the balance of a cat and the courage of a lion". For this task, the chosen member needed to harness themselves in and cross a 360ft. tightrope suspended 120ft up (essentially the length of a football field). Caite, Jordan, Joe, Dan, Allie, Brandy, Shawne, Adrian, Louie, Shannon, and Cord completed this first Road Block.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 16" [6]

Answer: 'Pork Chops'

After the Road Block, teams hopped onto motorcycles (and into sidecars) to be taken to their next location, Fangbang Road in Shanghai. Here, teams located their Detour clue hiding amongst the shops and stalls of Yuyuan Garden. This required a choice between 'Pork Chops' and 'Pork Dumplings'. In 'Pork Chops', teams headed to a nearby stamp shop and searched amongst thousands of wooden and rubber stamps for the two matching their team names and featuring a pig on the bottom. All teams chose this over 'Pork Dumplings' in which they would've needed to find a restaurant and transport ten orders of dumplings across the market.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 16" [5]

Answer: Links in a chain

At the ASL Marine Shipyard, teams found their Road Block task for this leg of the race in which one member of each team was required to go into a warehouse and count the links on a large anchor chain to receive their next clue. Brent, Michael, Jet, and Carol all completed this task by figuring out that the correct total was five hundred twenty-one, a total that they needed to write out for their attendant before receiving their route info. After the Road Block, teams took a taxi to MegaZip Adventure Park in Sentosa Island to get another clue.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 16" [4]

Answer: Bottle

After the Detour, teams were told to hop into some nearby boats and have the driver take them to St. Pierre Island where they would be handed their next clue. This would be the Road Block. Here, one member of each team needed to dive into the water and search for a submerged crate containing seven bottles, one of which they would need to bring back to the boat. When they did this, they would need to have their driver pull up close to the shore and upon landing they could open their bottle. Steve, Jordan, Brent, Louie, Jet, and Brandy finished this.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 16" [3]

Answer: Louie and Michael

After the Detour, teams ran down the road to their next clue box and found the first U-Turn of the race...and it was the infamous Blind U-Turn. For this race mechanic, one team could force another team behind them to turn around and complete the other Detour option. Because it was 'Blind', they would not need to reveal who used the item. Louie and Michael, the first to arrive at the U-Turn, decided to use it to make Joe and Heidi, only moments behind them, finish the 'In the Trenches' task. Teams then needed to go to the nearby Church of Massiges.

From Quiz Road Blocks of "The Amazing Race 16"

Answer: Cord

In Leg 6, teams drove themselves to Epernay, France to complete a Road Block task at the Leclerc Briant winery. Here, one member of each team needed to rappel one hundred feet into a gloomy wine cellar, then search amongst thousands of bottles of champagne for only one of seven containing a marker with the race colours. After this, team members climbed up the stairs to their partner and opened the bottle with a saber to receive their next clue. Jordan, Louie, Steve, Brandy, Cord, Brent, and Jeff all took the descent in this task and continued on to the Chateau de la Marquetterie.

From Quiz Detours of "The Amazing Race 16"

Answer: Joe and Heidi

In France, teams completed a WWI-themed Detour task at La Main de Massiges. Here, they dressed up as American soldiers and either completed 'In the Trenches' or 'Under Fire'. All eight teams completed 'Under Fire' in which they needed to crawl under one hundred yards of barbed wire to receive a message, then crawl back and send that message by carrier pigeon. After the Detour, Louie and Michael used the first U-Turn of the race, a Blind U-Turn, to anonymously send Joe and Heidi back to do the 'In the Trenches' option in which they needed to decode a morse code message and send another pigeon off. This ultimately led to their elimination.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 16" [6]

Answer: Louie and Michael

In the end of the leg, teams completed the Detour and were told to search the Riverside Promenade in Shanghai for their final Pit Stop of the race where they would be greeted by Phil and the world's tallest man. Here, Brent and Caite took their first win of the race and they were given a trip for two to Spain courtesy of (who else) Travelocity. After a lengthy leg in Shanghai, Louie and Michael ended up stepping on the mat after sunset and they became the final team eliminated from the race.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 16" [5]

Answer: Carol and Brandy

At Sentosa Island, teams took a steep zipline twelve hundred feet through a jungle canopy to get their final clue sending them to the Pit Stop at Singapore's Marina Barrage. Dan and Jordan, having won the race's only Fast Forward task, ended up taking their first first place victory of the race. They both won motorcycles, of all things. Carol and Brandy, U-Turned earlier in the leg, were almost able to catch up but failed to do so in the very end and became the seventh eliminated team.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 16" [4]

Answer: Steve and Allie

When teams landed on the shore, they opened their bottles to find a map leading to their next Pit Stop, the Paradise Sun Hotel down the beach. Steve and Allie were first to arrive (though they left all of their bags behind at the Detour and would not be able to claim them). For their victory they both won $7,000 (each) as well as dinner on the beach, massages, and as much 7-Up as they could drink (courtesy of 7-Up, this being the seventh leg of the race). After tons of mistakes by several teams in this leg, it was Jet and Cord who arrived at the mat in last place. The two of them were spared by a non-elimination leg, though.
