"The Amazing Race 24" [5] Trivia Quiz

Answer: Switzerland

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. Once there, they would be able to find their marked cars and drive themselves one hundred fifty kilometers into the Alps to the town of Altdorf where, in the morning, they would receive their next clue from a William Tell impersonator in front of a monument of Tell erected in 1895. Because of the wait, all five teams were equalized by morning.

Answer: Maid work

After receiving their clues from William Tell, teams were told to find the oldest wooden bridge in Europe-- the Chapel Bridge in Lucerne, Switzerland. Here, they were instructed to make their way to the nearby Hotel Schweizerhof to perform a task in which they had to dress as custodial staff for the inn and clean specific rooms to the exacting standards of the head maid, Helga, who would only hand over the next clue if teams properly tidied and reset the room to the proper, original state. All five teams had minor problems, but each was able to pull through with the finer details accounted for.

Answer: Ford Mustang

After cleaning their hotel rooms, teams were directed to the Swiss Museum of Transport in Lucerne where they had to find the large tunneling drill bit in front and determine what it is to receive their next clue. This proceeding task sent teams inside the museum to find five Ford Mustangs; they had to choose a model and determine its year of release using street signs found around the building (and math formulas) to open the car and receive their next clue.

Answer: Milk

After determining the model years for their Mustangs, the teams had to drive themselves to the village of Oberrickenbach in Wolfenschiessen, high up into the Alps, where they could find their Road Block task in front of a milk tanker. For this task, the teams had to choose one member to lead a Bernese Mountain Dog through the snowy streets, pulling a wagon filled with empty milk containers.

They then had to board a cable car up into the mountains and transport the containers by hand to a refilling station, and then return to the starting point with the dog, wagon, and two full containers to receive their next clue. Cord, Connor, Leo, Brendon, and Caroline completed this Road Block task.

Answer: Caroline and Jennifer

After the Road Block, teams were told to drive themselves to the next Pit Stop location, Engelberg, where they would have to take a cable car into the mountains from Trübsee to Mount Titlis. Then, they would have to continue on foot to the summit of the mountain to find Phil and the Pit Stop mat.

In a three-way race to the finish, Dave and Connor narrowly defeated Jet and Cord and Leo and Jamal, winning 2015 Ford Mustangs in the process. In the end, Caroline and Jennifer were the last team to arrive after a physically-challenging Road Block task. Luckily, they were spared in the third and final non-elimination leg of the race.

Answer: Seville

Starting the tenth leg of the race in front of their cars in Engelberg, Switzerland, teams were told to drive themselves to the city of Zurich to catch a flight to Seville, Spain, where they would need to take taxis to La Alameda. Upon their arrival they would need to locate two large statues-- one of Hercules and one of Julius Caesar-- in between which their next clue would be handed out starting at 8:30 in the morning.

Answer: Balloons

After finding their clues at La Alameda, teams were directed to a nearby barbershop in Seville-- Malado Peluqueros-- where they located their Road Block task themed after "The Barber of Seville". Here, one member of each team needed to take a straight razor and shave a balloon all over within a sixty second time limit. If they could do so without popping the balloon (and cutting the customer) they would be able to proceed with their next clue in hand. Connor, Jamal, Rachel, Jet, and Jennifer ended up completing the task.

Following this task, teams were told to find their next clue at Real Alcázar and Caroline and Jennifer had to complete a Speed Bump task, delivering six Spanish hams through the streets of Seville to a specific cafe.

Answer: 'Running with the Ballz'

After finding their clue in the pond in the center of Real Alcázar, teams were given a choice between two tasks: 'Spanish Steps' and 'Running with the Ballz'. In the former, teams had to proceed to a flamenco academy to learn the basic steps of the popular dance.

When they properly performed the flamenco for an instructor, they could receive their next clue. Caroline and Jennifer completed this option. In 'Running with the Ballz', teams instead headed to a nearby city street to dress up in large, protective bull costumes.

They then had to travel through a marked course while getting assaulted by others in bull outfits, searching for posters which would form the phrase 'A Matador Never Thinks About His Death'. When they recited this line at the end of the course, they could continue on. Dave and Connor, Leo and Jamal, Brendon and Rachel, and Jet and Cord completed this task.

Answer: Dave and Connor

After the Detour task, teams were told to proceed to the General Archive of the Indies and search on foot for their next clue and the race's second Double U-Turn. This time around, Leo and Jamal used their U-Turn powers to force Jet and Cord to complete the 'Spanish Steps' Detour task.

In addition to this, Caroline and Jennifer used the Double U-Turn (for the first time) to send Brendon and Rachel back for the same task. Unfortunately for them, Brendon and Rachel had already checked in at the Double U-Turn and were, thus, unaffected by the decision.

Answer: Jet and Cord

After the Double U-Turn was attended to, teams were told to proceed on foot to their next Pit Stop, the Plaza de España in Seville, Spain. Here, Dave and Connor won their second consecutive leg of the race (and fourth overall in this season), taking with them a trip for two to St. Croix courtesy of Travelocity.

After faltering to find clues earlier in the leg, missing key components during the Detour, and being forced to perform a U-Turn, Jet and Cord arrived in fifth and last place and were, thus, eliminated once again, leaving four teams and removing the third of three third-time racers from the game.
