Detours of "The Amazing Race 13" Quiz

Answer: Stairs

Reaching a church in the city of Salvador, Brazil on the first leg of the race, teams were asked to complete 'Hard Way Up' or 'Soft Way Down'. In 'Hard Way Up', which only Andrew and Dan completed, teams needed to crawl on their hands and knees up the Escadaria do Passo where, at the top, they needed to answer a mystery question (about the amount of steps climbed).

In 'Soft Way Down', the remaining ten teams ascended the Elevador Lacerda, then climbed down a cargo net two hundred and forty feet to the ground. Teams then made their way to the Pit Stop at Forte de Sao Marcelo.

Answer: 'Docket'

In Leg 2, teams proceeded to the northeastern coast of Brazil to find a Detour task near the city of Fortaleza. Once teams took dune buggies along Pecém Beach, they could choose either 'Beach It' or 'Docket'. In 'Beach It', teams needed to use logs to transport a large boat from the water's edge to a small inlet. Using force, nine teams completed this task.

In 'Docket', Mark and Bill decided to head to a nearby shipping yard, locate a specific container in a database, and find their clue within said container in the yard.

After the Detour, teams headed to the first Road Block task in Caucaia.

Answer: Bicycles

In La Paz, Bolivia, teams needed to reach a clue at the Narvaez Hat Shop and choose between 'Bumpy Ride' and 'Musical March'. In 'Bumpy Ride', teams walked down a nearby street to find wooden bicycles. Donning protective gear they needed to ride downhill through La Paz's cobblestone streets to their next clue box at the Plaza Abaroa.

In 'Musical March', teams needed to travel to a series of plazas in the city to collect members of a marching band. They would end up at the same plaza. Andrew and Dan and Marisa and Brooke completed 'Musical March' while the other seven teams completed 'Bumpy Ride'.

After this Detour, teams could have chosen to use the first U-Turn of the race, but none of the teams exercised this power.

Answer: Three

Teams headed out from Auckland, New Zealand to find a Detour task in Te Puke. Here, teams could choose either 'Matter of Time' or 'Matter of Skill'. In 'Matter of Time', teams traveled to a local kiwi orchard to stomp kiwis in traditional basins (in which the bottoms would be lined with rocks) to create a total of twelve quarts of kiwi juice. Both members, upon finishing, also needed to drink a glass each. Terence and Sarah, Marisa and Brooke, and Kelly and Christy completed this task.

The remaining teams (excluding Ken and Tina, who claimed the Fast Forward) completed 'Matter of Skill' in which both members constructed Blokarts and rode them around a track three times.

After this, teams headed to the Summerhill Rec Farm, the fourth Pit Stop.

Answer: Iron clothing

In Leg 6, teams proceeded through Delhi, India to find a Detour task at the Ambassador Hotel. Here, teams chose between 'Launder Clothes' and 'Launder Money'. In 'Launder Clothes', teams traveled to a nearby washing area and used large, hot charcoal irons to press and iron twenty articles of clothing to receive their clue. Nick and Starr, Toni and Dallas, Kelly and Christie, and Andrew and Dan completed this.

In 'Launder Money', teams went to a local banquet hall and, using ten Indian rupees bills, stapled a specific amount of money to a necklace to be given to a bride and groom. Terence and Sarah and Ken and Tina completed this task.

After this, teams headed to the Pit Stop at the Bahai House in Delhi.

Answer: Terence and Sarah

Continuing through Delhi, India in Leg 7, teams found a Detour clue at the Charity Birds Hospital in Jain Mandir. Here, they chose between 'Teary Eyed' and 'Bleary Eyed'. In 'Teary Eyed', which was only completed by Terence and Sarah, teams needed to carry two large sacks of chilies a quarter of a mile to a spice shop where they needed to crush a certain amount of chilies into powder to claim their next clue.

In 'Bleary Eyed', the other five teams located a specific intersection and followed a marked power line through a market identifying numbered tags.

When they got the correct number sequence, they would need to plug an electrical device into a socket at a nearby shop to claim the clue leading to the Pit Stop, Humayun's Tomb.

Answer: Milk

In Leg 8, teams received a Detour clue from a Golden Eagle at Kok Tobe Arch and all participating teams completed 'Act Like Fools' in which they traveled to a nearby puppet theater to don a two-man cow costume. They then traveled through the streets of Almaty to find a milk stall where the front team member needed to drink the milk to find the location of their next destination, a butcher stall, on the bottom.

They then needed to take the cow outfit to the Pit Stop, Old Square, on foot. In 'Play Like Mad', teams would've needed to learn how to play two traditional musical instruments (the dombra and the shang-kobuz) and perform on the streets to earn money before heading to the Pit Stop. Nick and Starr did not need to complete this Detour having won the second and final Fast Forward of the race.

Answer: 'Borscht'

In Leg 9, teams took taxis to Kolosok Camp, a decommissioned military base outside the city of Moscow, where they found a Detour task. For this, teams needed to choose between 'Boots' and 'Borscht', both of which required that teams don military garb.

After suiting up into military attire, teams choosing 'Boots' needed to learn a straight-forward military march which needed to be performed around a parade route. Toni and Dallas, Ken and Tina, and Nick and Starr completed this task. Andrew and Dan, who completed 'Borscht', needed to serve bowls of borscht to seventy-five waiting soldiers.

After this task, teams headed to Zhukovsky Bakery for their next task.

Answer: Nick and Starr

In Leg 10, teams were handed their Detour clue at Sokolniki Park forcing them to choose from two options revolving around Moscow's transit system: 'Ride the Rails' and 'Ride the Lines'. Nick and Starr completed 'Ride the Rails' in which they took Moscow's subway system through the city collecting items and navigating to a number of different locations. Ken and Tina and Andrew and Dan finished 'Ride the Lines' which involved locating spots on Moscow's trolley line.

After this task, teams headed to the race's final Pit Stop: VDNKh Park. Toni and Dallas started working on the 'Ride the Lines' option, but were eliminated halfway through as they had lost their passports.

Answer: True

Teams flew from Moscow, Russia to Portland, Oregon to complete their last set of tasks before the Finish Line. Here, the final Detour of the race was found in Newberg's Tilikum Retreat Center. All three teams chose 'High & Dry' in which they needed to climb a tree thirty feet up to balance on a suspended log, then leap for their next clue over the edge strapped into a harness. Teams not completing this task would've needed to select 'Low & Wet' in which they would've needed to cross a bridge of logs eight hundred feet along the water to a nearby island.
