The Race for Leg #4

Leg #4 - Time Deadline = 5 hours





Welcome Teams,

We are here today in Reykjavík, Iceland, which will serve as your starting point for this leg.

To reach your first clue, you have to complete this crossword puzzle. The only clue you will get to solve this puzzle is that it has to do with Iceland cities/towns/villages

Every wrong submission will be a 2 minute penalty so don't just spam guesses. You don't have to submit the puzzle visually, you can just type out the answers with the answer key below. If it's easier for you to do it on the image though, that's good too.

You will be heading to the airport from here. This means that if you do not complete this task before all planes have departed, you will be on the last flight & receive a 10 minute penalty for not completing the task before departing. The first flight leaves at 8:35pm EST & the last flight leaves at 8:50pm EST.

Shop




Welcome to the shops of Belfast, Northern Ireland,

As mentioned previously, Belfast, Northern Ireland was also coined as Linenapolis. Linen is often used to make clothes, so today you will be going around town trying to dress up a Leprechaun.

Below is a picture of the Leprechaun you need to dress. How do you dress him? You have to look online for the articles required for his attire & make sure you stay within budget. You can buy sets that include more than one item, but it has to again be within budget & match what is needed. It doesn't have to include everything in the one set you buy, but then you will have to find the missing items.

- You will need to provide a link for each item listed below
- You will need to make sure you stay between $75 - $150. You cannot be lower or above these amounts for it to count. This is the total amount for all the items you choose, combined.

List of Items

- Green Leprechaun Hat (has to have the little belt on it like in the picture below, clover not needed though)
- Green Leprechaun Jacket
- White undershirt
- Green Vest to go under the Jacket
- Black or Brown Leprechaun Shoes with the buckle on them
- Smoking Pipe
- Leprechaun looking beard
- Yellow Bow Tie
- Long stripped green & white socks

Ship




Welcome to Belfast Harbour,

To move on from this, you have to help us recreate the RMS Titanic. Basically you will have to grab your paper & you have to make a paper boat that will float. Once you make it, you have to write your team name on it and then you have to fill up a sink or tub to show us it can float. Get a picture of your boat floating on your water surface & make sure your team name is visible. Then upload that picture here to your Team Confessional.





If you don't know how to make a paper boat, there are youtube videos out there.
