Thx for the advice but i can agree with that only to some extent :P Because eliminating the other existing possibilities one by one after every next clue is presented is what the whole Race is about. Of course, at the beginning the hints can't be suggesting one location only, as it would make no sense. Nonetheless, i have to say that i'm really impressed by your Saint-Tropez theory! It went along pretty well with some of the clues! Not with all of them, though ;)

On the other hand, Sara & Dara guessing it right after the 2nd or 3rd Stage (congrats once again to both of you xD) may as well be a proof that it was a little bit too easy xD

-------

Another interesting statistics: did the immunity save anyone from being eliminated? Actually, it happened only once. Here you can find all the winners of the immunity votings and their ranks at that time:

Stage 3 - Dara (she was 8th out of 10 participants at that moment)
Stage 4 - Annika (8th / 9)
Stage 5 - Sara (4th / 8)
Stage 6 - Marjolein (4th / 7)
Stage 7 - Tim (6th / 6 - saved by winning the immunity voting)

Yeah that's the fun thing :P I understand that and you did that mostly well. Just sometimes your hints were a bit too general, like if you would say: "Food is more important than you think." Everyone would be like: Okay that pretty much sums up the whole continent below the Alps / YES YES YES I GOT THAT RIGHT! (If you would connect that with the first clue)

It sounds like I am being a bit of an ant :censored: er now, but you did a great job you really did. Like if I would host this no one would ever reach the Final Destination because I am able to connect the weirdest things to each other :P

Actually that isn't true at all. I hate Twilight with a passion. I actually found the picture in the first postcard and I knew the destination, and then I researched Volterra to figure out the rest of the clues. I have not read, and I have not watched Twilight. Thanks.

How did you find it xD I tried to do exactly the same too, but obviously didn't succeed :P

Searching random websites xD I can't remember exactly how I did it. I found all the Villanova pictures and the football player and the halite salt. I just had a lot of time on my hands xD

Yeah I didn't understand the Villanova thing so I thought I was interpreting the clues wrong...xD I thought football = soccer and the name wasn't important...because Italy is pretty big into the whole soccer thing xD

I see that if i ever make another edition, i need to be more careful ;) Because actually i was the least careful person involved in the Race :P

Well done, Sara! So, practically you were sure where to go since the very beginning! :flowers:

If there is some interest, it might start in December/January :P But first, i need to know who'd b interested in participating. And what are your thoughts of a team edition. It'd add the factor of co-operation to the Game ;)

After reading everything....
1. Congratulations Dara!! :D (and congratulations everyone...you guys are so smart!)
2. Adi, the game is fun. thanks for hosting :flowers: (you're really smart too)
3. Esref: your strategies make more sense than mine :P (I'm serious :P)
I only kind of got the clue with the salt thingy, and that's how I ended up in Poland...but I guess tourist care more about twilight than about the Wieliczka Salt Mine :P I would have never got that...for me twilight = vampires so I would have probably ended up in Transylvania xD
anyway that was really fun, but I don't think I'll take part in the next one. I'm too stupid for this game :D

ok. i didn't get any of the twilight stuff cause i hate that show. i was thinking of some movie about women rekindling their lifes through romance in tuscany. a popular destination for women :P

but i knew the twin city thing had significance. at first i was thinking southern france like marjo and the education clue got me thinking montpellier but it didn't match the tuscan clue.

oh well :P

and i wish i got the villanova thing cause then i would have known for sure tuscany . at first i though new ORLEANS saints or notre dame (paris) and i was like what...is it in france or tuscany?

the anja veterova clue made me think pisa right away. i would have been sitting in geneva wondering which way to go :lol:
