Road Blocks of "The Amazing Race 16" Quiz

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.

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.

Answer: Intersection

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. For this task, two intersected, single team members needed to take the metro to Hamburg Harbour and perform a tandem bungee jump.

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.

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.

Answer: Seychelles

After a series of tasks in the island nation of Seychelles, teams made their way to St. Pierre Island by boat and one member needed to perform a Road Block. For this task, they needed to dive into the water and swim to a crate at the bottom of the sea to retrieve a bottle containing their next bit of info. Once team members returned to their boat with the bottle, both members had to swim to the shore of the nearby island, Preslin, to open the bottle and assemble the map puzzle inside, then run to the nearby Pit Stop. Steve, Jordan, Brent, Louie, Jet, and Brandy completed this swimming task.

Answer: Coconuts

In Leg 8 in Penang, Malaysia, teams needed to find a temple in Teluk Bahang one member of each team needed to finish a Road Block. In this task, the selected member needed to smash coconuts until they found one containing coloured insides. Once they smashed and received their coconut they needed to take the piece and use it to create a traditional offering to be placed into the surf. Jet, Carol, Louie, Caite, Jordan, and Allie did this one and then headed to the Pit Stop at Pinang Peranakan Mansion.

Answer: A shipyard

In Leg 9, teams visited the nation of Singapore. Here, teams proceeded to their Road Block task at the ASL Marine Shipyard and one member was required to count the links in a large chain while workers made noises around them. Brent, Michael, Jet, and Carol ended up counting the five hundred twenty one links on the chain in a fairly reasonable time before heading out. Neither Dan nor Jordan completed this task as they had completed the Fast Forward in this leg.

After the Road Block teams took taxis to Sentosa Island for a ziplining task.

Answer: There were two to complete

In Leg 10, teams headed to Shanghai and one member of each team completed a traditional-noodle-making Road Block task in the village of Zhujiajiao. Once Caite, Jet, Jordan, and Louie made one kilogram of noodles they would receive their next clue. Later on in the leg, teams encountered a second Road Block in the same leg (for the first time in any race).

This task had to be completed by the other member of the team, so Brent, Cord, Dan, and Michael had to go into the field of Hongkou Football Stadium and solve a ninety-six piece puzzle, the pieces of which needed to be handed to people in the stands upon completion so that the team member could locate their next clue.

After this task, teams went to the Pit Stop at the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum.

Answer: True

In Leg 11, teams found the Road Block task at the Longhua Temple in Shanghai. Here, one member of each team needed to go into the Arhat Hall of the temple and count the golden statues found in the room. This total would be comprised of five hundred twenty one gold Buddha statues and an additional two statues guarding the doors of the room. Once finished, they could give their number to a monk who would give them their next clue, otherwise they would take a ten minute penalty before trying again. Caite, Jet, Dan, and Louie did the work on this one before teams took motorcycle rides to their next stop.

Answer: Coit Tower

In Leg 12, the remaining three teams raced to the city of San Francisco, California and found a clue at the Battery Godfrey leading them to Coit Tower atop Telegraph Hill. Here, one member of each team (Dan, Cord, and Brent) were required to use mechanical ascenders to reach a clue dangling from the top of the tower over two hundred feet up. Once they collected this clue they could make their way to their next destination, the Yoda statue in front of the Letterman Digital Arts Center.
