From Quiz Road Blocks of "The Amazing Race 24"

Answer: One

The Road Block capped off the race's first leg as eleven returning teams made their way from California to Guangzhou, China. For this task, teams had to head to the stadium at Haixinsha Island and the selected member had to perform three high-wire flips suspended in the air three hundred feet above the stadium. Cord, Brendon, Connor, Margie, Leo, Mallory, Flight Time, John, Jennifer, Joey, and Natalie chose to 'feel wired' for this task before racing on foot to their first Pit Stop at the Guangzhou Opera House. The previous several seasons of the race featured two Road Blocks in the first leg, one for each team member.

Answer: 'China Cup'

Ending off their second leg in the city of Guangzhou, China, teams encountered a Detour task forcing them to choose either 'Feather Ball' or 'China Cup', and all ten teams elected to put their fates into their own hands by participating in the former over the latter. In 'Feather Ball', teams had to head to Liwanhu Park to join locals in a hackey-sack-like game in which they needed to join a pair of players and pass a shuttlecock around their group ten times. 'China Cup' would have involved visiting a local sauna center to receive cupping treatment before heading to the Pit Stop at the Shamian Island Promenade.

In the beginning of Leg 11, the final four teams departed from their tenth Pit Stop in Seville, Spain's Plaza de España.

Because of this, all four teams arrived in England early the next morning and hopped into Ford vehicles to drive to their next destination.

Departing from the Piazza del Duomo in Orvietto, Italy, teams were told to make their way back to Rome to catch a train ride to Chiasso, Switzerland on the Italian-Swiss border.

Because of the wait, all five teams were equalized by morning.

Ripping open their clues at the Mount Lavinia Hotel in Mount Lavinia, teams were told that they would be leaving Sri Lanka and that they had to go to a nearby travel agency to book tickets on the next available flight to the Eternal City, a location they would need to determine to be Rome, Italy. The seven teams flying to Italy all made it onto the same flight, but seating arrangements on the aircraft proved useful; only the four front-running teams were able to leave the airport first. They all headed to Hadrian's Bridge in Rome for their next clue.
