Another Math Question/testing your memory:
For this question assume the teams have the following numbers: twins 1// bros 2// omc 3// jays 4//saw 5 (use these #s to solve b and c)

a. Take the number of teams that have used the fast forward during Amazing Race 3 and multiply it by the number of DIFFERENT teams that have finished any of the 7 completed legs in first place.
(save your result, a=____)

b. Take the number of the team above that has never finished worse than 5th place in a leg and multiply it by the number of the team above that has finished in first the most times.
(save your result, b= _____)

c. Take the number of the team above that improved the most places during 2 consecutive legs and multiply it by the the number of the team above that fell the most places during 2 consecutive legs.
(save your result, c=_____)

Now mark each of the following statements true or false, according to the information you saved above.

1. a - b = c
2. a divided by b = c

Since this question takes quite a bit of time to complete, everyone who gets the 3 true/false questions correct will receive 5 points. Take your time as there is no reward for being first. You may submit your answer to Bonus 23 with your Bonus DDD and/or Episode 8 predictions.

Clarifications:
consecutive means 2 weeks in a row (for example Episode 3 finishing order followed by Episode 4 finishing order) It does not matter if someone fell 4 places from week 1 to week 3 or any other time period that skips weeks.

The order of finish in week 4 will have Heather and Eve finishing 9th because they were disqualified, everyone else was bumped up 1.

This was a good one Chippers LOL

I AGONIZED over these questions on Sunday and couldn't get any of it to make any sense...of course, I WAS sick on Sunday (some kind of tummy bug, yuk)...then last night I decided to tackle it again and I just whipped through it. Go figure!?!

Thanks for making me think again...besides playing scrabble, reading, and other games I play with DH I just don't seem to get enough mental exercises anymore (and at my age, I need all the exercise I can get, physical or mental, LOL).

The correct answers were:

a. Take the number of teams that have used the fast forward during Amazing Race 3 and multiply it by the number of DIFFERENT teams that have finished any of the 7 completed legs in first place.
5 teams used the fast forward times 4 different teams have finished in first= 20 (a)

b. Take the number of the team above that has never finished worse than 5th place in a leg and multiply it by the number of the team above that has finished in first the most times.
Flo and Zach have never finished worse than 5th place (5) times Ken and Gerard have finished in first place 3 times (2) = 10 (b)

c. Take the number of the team above that improved the most places during 2 consecutive legs and multiply it by the the number of the team above that fell the most places during 2 consecutive legs.
Team that improved the most in consecutive legs was Derek and Drew (1) times team that fell the most places was Ken and Gerard (2) =2

Now mark each of the following statements true or false, according to the information you saved above.

1. a - b = c False
2. a divided by b = c True
3. a - b = b True
