The Amazing Race Quarantine: Season 1Leg #8 - Time Deadline = 5 hours
Welcome Teams,
We are leaving Perugia, Italy behind today & moving on out to our next destination.
You're on route to Ancona, Italy where you will take a ferry to your next destination. On your way over, you start day dreaming watching the scenery pass by as you sit in the back of a car & look out the window. You realize at that moment that you forgot to take notes yesterday while in Paris. You were so annoyed with that man at the café who made you do all those Emily in Paris tasks, you completely forgot to pay attention. You know it's important to keep notes of your journey on this race, so you start asking your teammate if they remember anything that could help you piece your notes together.
Before you get to Ancona, you must answer the following questions about your Paris encounter. You will get a 1 minute penalty for every wrong guess as of your 4th wrong guess.
Questions:1- What is the full name of the man you met at the café? (accents matter)
2- Who was on the cover of the newspaper he was reading?
3- His friend Bernadette Sirois is celebrating her ____ birthday?
4- He has a tattoo of what & where?
5- Your clue was in which pocket? (be as specific as I was telling you)
ANSWERS:
1- Pierre-André Deschamps (only acceptable answer)
2- Vanessa Paradis (only acceptable answer)
3- 29th (29 is fine)
4- Dragon & stomach (only acceptable answer)
5- Back left pocket (only acceptable answer)

You will get a 1 minute penalty for every wrong guess as of your 4th wrong guess.
