Thanks again to Peter for pointing out that the rows in The Amazing Race Leaderboard represented the place in the race and not a particular team. In retrospect, it’s obvious, as surely the teams hadn’t been in those spots the whole season. But now we have another puzzle.

Amazing Race Preview?
Posted on August 5, 2004
Denise and I keep up with The Amazing Race quite regularly. It plays to our voyeuristic interests, we get to watch for interesting places, and it’s not just a bunch of people sitting around on an island or in a house. Until recently, I had never really checked out their web site.
When I did, I decided to take a look at the leaderboard for this season. As I looked at the leaderboard, it occurred to me that perhaps particular teams are being written off a bit early. The image below shows a chart of the race, with a vertical column for each stage and a horizontal line for each team.
