In the start of Leg 11, teams needed to make their way from the Pit Stop at the Cheena vala Fishing Nets in Vypin, India to the airport in Cochin where they would need to catch a flight to the city of Hiroshima, Japan (in the country's southern regions). When they arrived, they made their way to Miyajima to find the torii of the majestic Itsukushima Shrine. They received their next clue and continued on with the race at sunrise.

Answer: Cochin

Heading out from the eighth Pit Stop of the race looking out at Lake Manyara in Tanzania, teams were told to head to the airport in Kilimanjaro to fly nearly three thousand miles to the city of Cochin, India on the country's western coast. When they arrived at this location, they needed to head to the Rajiv Gandhi Municipal Bus Terminal where they would take a bus to the town of Thevara. When they finally located Sacred Heart College, they could find their next clue there.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 20" [4]

Answer: Europe

The sixth leg of the race ended in the city of Baku, Azerbaijan, and that's where teams left off. Opening their clues at the Boulevard Esplanade Estakada, they were informed that they would be heading to Kilimanjaro, Tanzania for this leg. To get there, the remaining six teams flew Nariobi, Kenya and then onwards to Kilimanjaro from Baku and then transferred onto an additional charter flight at the Arusha Airstrip. There were three flights, each leaving a forty-five minutes apart; two teams went on each flight.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 20" [3]

Answer: Austria

Coming out of the fourth Pit Stop at the Piazza Castello in Turin, Italy, the eight competing teams were told to head to the train station to make their way northward to Ehrwald, Austria. Once there they would need to take a drive into Germany, specifically snowy Bavaria, where they would need to locate the Gasthof zum Rassen in Garmisch-Partenkirchen and wait for it to open to receive their clue and a Travelocity Roaming Gnome.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 20" [2]

Answer: Asunción

To begin Leg 3, teams departed from their second Pit Stop of the race from El Gomero in Recoleta, Buenos Aires. This clue directed them straight to the travel agency to pick up tickets to the nearby country of Paraguay. Once teams landed in the capital city on one of two flights, they needed to make their way by taxi to Metalurgica Punta de Rieles where they could search the intricate metalworks there for their next hidden clue. The two flights were only two hours apart, so front-running teams needed to work fast to maintain a lead.

From Quiz Road Blocks of "The Amazing Race 20"

Answer: One

For their Road Block task, teams visiting Asunción, Paraguay reached Plaza de la Democracia where one selected team member needed to 'use their head'. Balancing a bottle on their head, they needed to perform a traditional choreographed dance to completion. If they dropped the bottle at any time, they would need to start over. The catch was that they only had fifty bottles; running out would result in a two hour time penalty upon checking in at the Pit Stop. Only Dave (of Rachel and Dave) took the penalty, dropping the couple to sixth place overall. Art, Dave, Rachel, Joey, Mark, Nary, Kerri, Elliot, and Ralph went for this task.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 20" [6]

Answer: Osaka

Receiving their clues in the morning at Itsukushima Shrine, teams were required to observe a memorial service at Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and to take the time to enjoy the surroundings in this city scarred by the bombings of World War II. When the ceremony ended, they each received their next clue at the same time directing them to the train station. Here, they needed to hop aboard the next train to Osaka, Japan; each team was required to take the Shinkansen, the bullet train.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 20" [5]

Answer: Dave

When they arrived at Sacred Heart College, the five teams encountered the Road Block for this leg of the race. For this, they needed to wear Bollywood clothing and learn an intricate routine with a troupe of back-up dancers until they were satisfied that they knew it well enough to perform. They then needed to take to the stage and perform it to the satisfaction of the head dance choreographer in order to continue on in the race. For some racers, this took dozens of attempts in the blazing heat. The task was completed by Rachel, Rachel, Vanessa, JJ, and Mark.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 20" [3]

Answer: Bopper and Mark

Arriving at the lodge in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Bopper and Mark, who placed last in the fourth leg of the race (a non-elimination leg), needed to complete their Speed Bump task. This required that they dress in lederhosen and join a yodeler in a specific tune. Once they'd performed the task to the satisfaction of their teacher, they would be able to resume the race with the others. Otherwise, the other racers commenced their Detour task, 'Fairy Tale' or 'Champion Male', both of which were a short drive through Bavaria.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 20" [2]

Answer: Watermelons

Upon arriving at the Metalurgica Punta de Rieles, teams located their Detour task, a choice between 'Stacked Up' and 'Strung Out'. 'Stacked Up' turned out to be the surprisingly difficult one. For this task, teams headed to the city's largest fruit market, Mercado Central de Abasto, to stack watermelons in a square pyramid with a ten by ten melon base. Art and JJ, Joey "Fitness" and Danny, and Vanessa and Ralph completed this task though many others attempted it and opted to switch options.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 20" [1]

Answer: Argentina

Heading to the airport, teams discovered that they needed to leave Santa Barbara, California and take a flight to Salta, Argentina to locate Santa Bárbara, a town in the Argentine countryside. Once they landed, they'd need to drive to the town's welcome sign to locate their first route marker. This task proved straightforward for the teams as they connected through Buenos Aires but the two-and-a-half hour distance between the two flights immediately put the back-runners into a rush to avoid elimination.

From Quiz Road Blocks of "The Amazing Race 20"

Answer: Turin

Arriving in Turin, Italy in Leg 4, teams drove to the Lingotto Buildintg and, there, they had to run to the top up a lengthy spiral drive. At the top was a Road Block wherein one member of each team needed to rappel one hundred twenty feet down through the building to collect a clue. If they did not collect the clue within two minutes they needed to descend to the bottom, run back to the top, and try again. Rachel, Danny, Vanessa, Jamie, Rachel, Stacy, and Bopper completed the task (though Vanessa and Jamie had to take a second attempt). Neither Art nor JJ completed the Road Block as they claimed the Fast Forward clue.

From Quiz Detours of "The Amazing Race 20"

Answer: Salami

Hopping across the Atlantic and heading to Turin, Italy for the fourth leg of the race, teams completed a Detour task to end off their challenges for the day. In 'Clean That Statue', teams had to maintain city statues, carefully cleaning a single statue to a city worker's approval. Joey 'Fitness' and Danny, Rachel and Dave, Nary and Jamie, Vanessa and Ralph, and Mark and Bopper completed this task. Brendon and Rachel and Kerri and Stacy completed 'Name That Salami' during which they needed to locate Gastronomia Salumeria and taste-test fourteen distinct salamis before travelling a half kilometer on-foot to Piazza Vittorio Veneto and identifying all of them by their correct names. Art and JJ did not complete the Detour, having won the Fast Forward.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 20" [3]

Answer: Beards

For the Detour, teams choosing 'Champion Male' had to drive to Wetz-Stoa Stub'n in Unterammergau where they needed to choose a beard enthusiast and style their facial hair. Once they correctly shaped and formed the beard according to their photo, they received their clue. Art and JJ, Joey 'Fitness' and Danny, Rachel and Dave, Vanessa and Ralph, and Nary and Jamie finished this one. In 'Fairy Tale', teams located a witch's house in the fairy tale city of Oberammergau. On the way, they needed to collect gingerbread pieces in the forest so that they could construct a gingerbread house for a local witch. Brendon and Rachel, Kerri and Stacy, and Bopper and Mark did this one. When they properly created their house, the witch handed them their next clue leading them to the location that inspired Sleeping Beauty's castle-- Neuschwanstein Castle.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 20" [2]

Answer: Express Pass

During the 'Strung Out' Detour task, teams were instructed to go to Universidad Nacional de Asunción to fully string a harp. This monotonous task proved difficult for teams as well with some stringing for several hours, but with careful attention teams were able to focus on their work. Brendon and Rachel, Bopper and Mark, Nary and Jamie, Kerri and Stacy, and Elliot and Andrew finished this task. Rachel and Dave elected to use their Express Pass to avoid completing either Detour task. They proceeded with their next clue after attempting both options.

From Quiz Road Blocks of "The Amazing Race 20"

Answer: A garden gnome

Coming to the town of Fussen, Germany in the end of Leg 5, teams needed to locate the Eisstockschießen and choose one member who was 'ready to put it on ice'. For this task, they needed to use a Travelocity roaming gnome, picked up at the start of the leg, and go curling. When they landed the gnome in the middle of the bullseye, they could race to the Pit Stop. Art, Danny, Ralph, Nary, Brendon, Rachel, Kerri, and Mark finished this task.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 20" [6]

Answer: Three

After the Road Block, teams located their Detour task at the top of the Umeda Sky Building in the Floating Garden Observatory. Here, they needed to complete either 'Bingo Shout-Out' or 'Photo Cut-Out'. In the former task, completed by Brendon and Rachel, Ralph and Vanessa, and Art and JJ, teams needed to play a game of sushi bingo at a conveyor sushi restaurant, matching pieces of sushi to letters on their playing cards. When they created a line, they would receive their next clue. 'Photo Cut-Out' was completed by Rachel and Dave. For this task they needed to convince thirty locals to join in pictures with sumo cut-outs (three per photo) to get their next clue.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 20" [2]

Answer: Rachel and Dave

After the Detour, teams needed to proceed to the Plaza de la Democracia to complete their Road Block task. For this challenge, one member of each team needed to balance a bottle on their head and perform a dance routine taught to them by a local dancer. Once they could complete the routine (including a position where they dropped to their stomachs) without breaking the bottle, they could receive their next clue. If they broke their entire table of two hundred bottles, they would be unable to complete the task and be forced to sit out a two hour penalty. After having used their Express Pass, Rachel and Dave failed to complete the task, taking their two hours at the next Pit Stop. The task was attempted by Art, Dave, Joey "Fitness", Rachel, Mark, Nary, Kerri, Ralph, and Elliot.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 20" [1]

Answer: Empanadas

After the Road Block task, teams needed to drive themselves through Cafayete, Argentina to the Patios de Cafayate Winery to find their next clue waiting at the entrance. For this task, teams needed to head inside to watch a demonstration about how to make meat empanadas and cheese empanadas; both types of empanadas would need to be crimped differently. Once teams made sixty of each type and had them approved by a chef, they would be able to race on foot to the next Pit Stop on the winery grounds.

From Quiz Detours of "The Amazing Race 20"

Answer: Baku

Leaving Bavaria in Leg 6, teams took a trip to the unvisited "Amazing Race" destination of Azerbaijan, spending a day in the capital city of Baku. To end off the leg, teams chose between 'Apple' and 'Oil'. In 'Apple', teams travelled to a market to search a Soviet car used to transport produce into the city. Looking through one ton of apples, they had to find one marked with a race flag. Nary and Jamie, Vanessa and Ralph, and Joey 'Fitness' and Danny completed this task. In 'Oil', teams instead visited the Naftalan Health Center to clean a client soaked in crude oil (apparently a health regimen) using a metal shoehorn, then remove any excess oil with water and sponges. Brendon and Rachel, Art and JJ, and Bopper and Mark completed this odd task. Rachel and Dave did not finish this task since they claimed the Fast Forward, skipping it and the Road Block.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 20" [6]

Answer: Vanessa and Ralph

After the Detour task, teams rushed off to their final Pit Stop for the race at Osaka Castle in the city of Osaka, Japan. Here, Rachel and Dave took their seventh win of the race (and their third consecutive victory) to secure their spot in the final leg. They also won a trip for two to New Zealand from Travelocity. After Vanessa's injuries hampered her success in the physical Road Block, she and Ralph arrived at the Pit Stop in last place and became the final eliminated team.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 20" [5]

Answer: Bopper and Mark

After the Detour, teams were told to make their way by taxi to the ninth Pit Stop of the race, the Dutch-built Bolgatty Palace in Cochin. Rachel and Dave were the first to arrive in this leg of the race taking their fifth victory in total. This time they won a trip for two (courtesy of Travelocity) to Saint Lucia. In the end, after an exhausting Bollywood-themed Road Block and the threat of quitting, Bopper and Mark stepped on the mat in last place. They were, however, spared from elimination in this last of three non-elimination legs.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 20" [4]

Answer: Nary and Jamie

Completing their campsites, the teams were allowed to take their drivers and head to the seventh Pit Stop of the race near the Simba Campsite overlooking the Ngorongoro Crater. Having worked together well for the final task, Rachel and Dave were able to pull ahead of the earlier flight to take a second victory (their fourth overall). They won a trip for two to Costa Rica courtesy of Travelocity. At the end of the leg, Nary and Jamie fell behind due to a mostly-physical final task. Upon arriving at the Pit Stop they were told that it was a non-elimination leg.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 20" [3]

Answer: Kerri and Stacy

After the Road Block task, teams were directed to their next Pit Stop, a respectable drive away to Schwangau-Horn, Germany to find Landhannes Farm. Once they entered a fully-functioning barn full of milking cows, they found Phil and the Pit Stop mat. Art and JJ retained their lead for a third consecutive win. Their victory resulted in a trip for two to Thailand courtesy of Travelocity. Although Kerri and Stacy beat Nary and Jamie out of the Road Block, their directions to the farm proved insufficient and they arrived in last. They became the fourth team eliminated from the race.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 20" [2]

Answer: Elliot and Andrew

After the Road Block, teams needed to proceed on foot to the next Pit Stop at the Escalinata de Antequera in Asunción. Here, Art and JJ arrived quite early-- a full seven hours before the penultimate team, Vanessa and Ralph. For their victory they won a trip for two to the Bahamas courtesy of Travelocity. Rachel and Dave, who stopped on the mat in second, dropped to sixth overall because of their penalty. Nonetheless, some teams couldn't complete the Detour fast enough. Vanessa and Ralph barely edged out Elliot and Andrew who, after several screw-ups during the Detour, couldn't keep up. They were eliminated in ninth place.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 20" [1]

Answer: Misa and Maiya

After completing the empanada challenge at the Patios de Cafayate Winery, teams needed to get their bags and proceed on foot to the next Pit Stop on the winery grounds. The first team to arrive, by mere moments, was Rachel and Dave who ended up winning the Express Pass for their victory. The Express Pass could be used on any task up to and including Leg 8. In the end, although Misa and Maiya left the empanada task before Joey "Fitness" and Danny, their accidental neglect to see the Pit Stop merely a few meters away resulted in their elimination by only a few minutes.

From Quiz Road Blocks of "The Amazing Race 20"

Answer: Mark

Visiting the Tanzanian town of Mto Wa Mbu in Leg 8, teams ended up finding a Road Block that forced one member of each team to get up close and personal with a bunch of African bees. Working with beekeepers, they needed to go into the hives and collect five hundred grams of honeycomb, properly removing the bees from it before weighing it and receiving their next clue. When this was done, teams could head to the next Pit Stop, on the edge of Lake Manyara, on foot. Mark, Dave, Art, Rachel, Ralph, and Nary completed this task, the only Road Block in both Tanzania legs.

From Quiz Detours of "The Amazing Race 20"

Answer: One minute

Teams descended into Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania in Leg 7 and once there they biked into Seneto Village to join locals in either 'Marksmanship' or 'Courtship'. In 'Marksmanship', teams had to learn to hunt on a training range, throwing a rungu to hit a spinning target. If both team members could hit one target they could move on. Art and JJ, Dave and Rachel, Nary and Jamie, and Vanessa and Ralph did this. In 'Courtship', they instead had to join Maasai warriors to perform a jumping ritual, jumping up and down in place for a full minute. Brendan and Rachel and Mark and Bopper completed this quick task at the expense of their own physical stamina (at more than two kilometres above sea level).

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 20" [6]

Answer: Oahu

Leaving their final Pit Stop of the race at night the final three teams opened their clue to discover that they were returning to the United States and heading to their final destination city, Honolulu, Hawaii. The final three teams flew direct from Osaka, landing in Hawaii to try and find their way to 'the twins, Mauka and Makai', both of which were towers at the waterfront on the Honolulu skyline. Here they found their next clue.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 20" [4]

Answer: Air Supply

Departing from the Simba Campsite on the edge of Ngorongoro Crater early in the morning, teams were treated to a ride through the crater on safari to see many examples of the local wildlife. When the safari finished they needed to direct their drivers to Keratu to find a roadside stand with the name Hillary Clington. This is where they found their Detour task. For 'Air Supply', teams needed to use a bucket of water to locate the leaks in a bicycle tire, then use local materials to mend it and place it back on the bike. This task was completed by Bopper and Mark, Rachel and Dave, Brendon and Rachel, Vanessa and Mark, and Nary and Jamie.
