"The Amazing Race 17" [5] Trivia Quiz

Answer: Bangladesh

In the beginning of Leg 9, teams departed from their eighth Pit Stop early in the morning and were instructed to head out from Al Alam Palace in Muscat to fly to the capital city of Bangladesh, Dhaka. To do this, many of the teams took separate flights landing all throughout the day in the city of Dhaka.

The final three teams ended up on the same flight connecting in India. Upon their arrival, teams needed to make their way by cab to the Sundarban Square Supermarket. Once there, teams needed to use a sugar cane press to make a pint of sugar cane juice and one member needed to drink it to collect the next clue.

Answer: One hundred

After one team member quenched their thirst with a sweet drink, teams received their Detour clue. In this task, teams needed to choose between either 'Balanced Meal' or 'Balanced Bricks'. In 'Balanced Meal', teams needed to collect thirty containers of local food to deliver to a boat in the nearby harbour for workers' meals. Once teams brought back ten empty containers for which they trader their full ones, they would receive their next clue. Nick and Vicki, Nat and Kat, Brook and Claire, and Chad and Stephanie all did this task.

In 'Balanced Bricks', teams needed to use baskets to carry one hundred bricks from a barge to a nearby market place. Once they delivered a total of one hundred unbroken bricks, they would receive their next clue. Jill and Thomas did this.

Answer: Nick and Vicki

After the Detour, teams were told to search for their next clue box at the Dhaka River Port. Here, teams found a new (or at least revised) race mechanic. This would be the Double U-Turn. For this, two different teams could use the U-Turn to force teams to return to the Detour and complete the alternate task. Upon arriving, Jill and Thomas U-Turned Brook and Claire while Nat and Kat U-Turned Chad and Stephanie forcing both teams to complete the 'Balanced Bricks' Detour task.

After this, teams could return to the race course.

Answer: Frame

Teams continued on to a cycle rickshaw shop in Nazira Bazaar to find their next cluebox. Here, one member of each team completed the Road Block task for this leg in which they needed to properly assemble a number of pieces of a cycle rickshaw to receive their clue.

This included the main seat, wheels, canopy, bells, tassels, pedals, back seat, and a chain. When they had properly constructed their rickshaw, teams could get their next clue. Jill, Nick, Nat, Brook, and Stephanie completed this one.

Answer: Chad and Stephanie

After the Road Block, teams were told to travel on foot to their ninth Pit Stop of the race, Lalbagh Fort in the center of Dhaka. Here, Jill and Thomas would cruise into their third first place win of the race taking a $15,000 Discover gift card as their prize.

The last place team, after struggling to overcome their U-Turn, would be Chad and Stephanie who fell from first place at the beginning of the leg. They became the seventh eliminated team.

Answer: Hong Kong

Heading out from the ninth Pit Stop in Dhaka, Bangladesh, Lalbagh Fort, teams were informed that they would need to head to the airport to fly thirty-five hundred miles to the city of Hong Kong. Here, teams would need to travel by taxi to Cheung Chau Island to locate their next clue box waiting outside Cheung Po Tsai Cave. Because of the flight schedules departing from Dhaka, all four remaining teams arrived on the same plane and raced to the central ferry station in Hong Kong Harbour.

Answer: Sushi

Teams were told to travel by ferry once more, this time to Kowloon City. Here, teams needed to have a taxi drive them to Majesty Chinese Restaurant in the city where they would find their Road Block task. For this interesting challenge, one member of each team needed to head into the restaurant and eat from the buffet. With only a pair of chopsticks, teams needed to find one of only five pieces of fake sushi in the entire smorgasbord. If team members picked a piece of actual sushi, they'd need to eat it before continuing. Kat, Thomas, Claire, and Vicki all completed this task (which had its fair share of trips to the bathroom).

Answer: Bruce Lee

After the Road Block task, the four teams needed to travel by taxi to Tsim Sha Tsui and the Avenue of the Stars located along the Hong Kong waterfront. Once there, teams located their next cluebox waiting next to the statue of famous martial artist Bruce Lee.

This would be the teams' Detour task for this Leg, a choice between 'Sampan' and 'Ding Ding', both 'needle-in-a-haystack' types of tasks in the complicated city of Hong Kong.

Answer: 'Sampan'

Teams completing 'Sampan' needed to go to Aberdeen Harbour and deliver a cage of birds to a specific yacht docked in the water. The specific location would be denoted by a license number on their bird cage. When team got to the right boat they would be given their next clue on a slip of paper. All four teams went for this one.

In 'Ding Ding', teams needed to travel to a specific part of the city to ride the trams (known as Ding-Dings) through the streets to find three signs which would give the destination they needed to find. If teams could not find the proper signs, they'd need to go back to the start of the line and try again.

Answer: Nat and Kat

After the Detour, teams were told to find the next Pit Stop at Statue Square in Hong Kong. Here, Nat and Kat checked in first for the fourth time in the race. They won themselves a trip for two to Rio de Janeiro for doing so. In the end, after a long day, Nick and Vicki checked into the Pit Stop in last place. Because this was the final non-elimination round, the duo was told that they would need to face a Speed Bump in the next leg.

In addition, because they both decided not to complete the Detour task, they would face a six hour penalty before leaving the Pit Stop in the next leg.
