Q & A

  • What is the game being played in the episode?

    -The game being played is a hide-and-seek game across Switzerland, where one person is the 'Hider' and the others are the 'Seekers'. The Hider aims to avoid being found until the end of the game, while the Seekers try to locate the Hider.

  • How many days does the game last?

    -The game lasts for four days.

  • What is the significance of the first run as Hider for the narrator?

    -The first run as Hider is significant for the narrator because if they can last until the end of the day, they will win the game immediately as there won't be enough time left for either Ben or Adam to get back into the first place.

  • What strategy do Ben and Adam plan to use in the game?

    -Ben and Adam plan to play aggressively, aiming to keep the Hider under 250 total coins to reduce the likelihood of rolling top-tier curses and asking questions to narrow down the Hider's location.

  • What is the importance of the train system in the game?

    -The train system is crucial in the game as it allows the players to travel to different locations quickly. Knowing the train schedules and using the train lines strategically can greatly impact the game's outcome.

  • What is the role of the 'coin' in the game?

    -Coins are used to buy information about the Hider's location. The number of coins a player has can influence their strategy and the types of questions they can ask.

  • What is the 'curse' mentioned in the game?

    -A curse is a penalty given to the Seekers by the Hider. It requires the Seekers to perform a specific, often time-consuming or inconvenient task, such as filling Swiss cheese holes with other types of cheese, before they can continue seeking the Hider.

  • Why is the Hider considering hiding in the forest?

    -The Hider is considering hiding in the forest because it is a dense area with many options for hiding spots, making it difficult for the Seekers to find them.

  • What does the Hider hope to achieve by sending a photo of the train station interior?

    -The Hider hopes to make the location less indicative and delay the Seekers by sending an interior photo of the train station, which has no visible features that could easily identify the specific location.

  • What is the significance of the McDonald's photo in the game?

    -The McDonald's photo confirms to the Seekers that the Hider is in Winterthur, as it matches the specific McDonald's location within the 5-mile radius they had previously identified.

  • How does the Hider manage to stay in second place?

    -The Hider stays in second place by successfully hiding in the woods and making it difficult for the Seekers to locate them within the given time. The Seekers' inability to find the Hider in time ensures that the Hider maintains at least second place.

🕵️‍♂️ The Hider's Strategy and Evasion

The hider, midway through the game, is preparing for their first run. They understand the high stakes and are hoping their chosen hiding spot will keep them hidden. Meanwhile, the seekers, Ben and Adam, are strategizing aggressively, planning to keep the hider under 250 coins to limit the chances of top-tier curses. The hider reflects on their position, realizing they could have gone further, and now must rely on their knowledge from previous rounds to stay hidden in the dense, rail-connected area they've chosen.

05:00

🚂 The Seekers' Pursuit and Decision-Making

The seekers, Ben and Adam, are on a tight schedule, rushing to catch a train to Lucerne. They discuss their strategy, which involves asking questions to narrow down the hider's location. The hider, in the meantime, is considering the seekers' likely moves and preparing for various scenarios. Both sides are playing a mental game, trying to outsmart each other, with the hider focusing on finding the best hiding spots and the seekers trying to eliminate possibilities.

10:01

🌲 Hider's Exploration of Hiding Spots

The hider is exploring potential hiding spots in a wooded area, considering the effectiveness of each location. The seekers, now in Zürich, are trying to further narrow down the hider's location by asking questions about the geographic region and using a 25-mile radar. The hider is aware of the seekers' tactics and is trying to stay one step ahead, using their knowledge of the area to their advantage.

15:03

🤔 Intensifying Search and Theoretical Advantages

The seekers are in Winterthur, having narrowed down the hider's location to the same canton. They are strategizing their next moves, considering various options like asking for a photo of the train station or using a radar. The hider, realizing the seekers are closing in, is trying to make their location less indicative by taking an interior shot of the station. Both sides are acutely aware of the game's dynamics and are trying to maximize their advantages.

20:05

🥴 The Hider's Dilemma and Curse

The hider has rolled a curse, the 'Swiss cheese curse,' requiring them to fill in all holes of a block of Swiss cheese with other types of cheese before they can advance in the game. The seekers, delighted by this development, quickly complete the curse task at a local cheese shop. The hider is now under pressure, knowing that the seekers are within five miles and are closing in.

25:06

🏃‍♂️ The Frantic Race to the Finish

The seekers are in a race against time, trying to locate the hider before their time runs out. They are considering various strategies, such as asking for a photo of a McDonald's to pinpoint the hider's location within Winterthur. The hider, aware of the seekers' proximity, is moving to a more concealed spot in the woods, hoping to evade capture. The seekers are optimistic about their chances, but the hider is doing everything they can to stay hidden.

30:08

🌲 The Final Search in the Woods

The seekers are in the woods, searching for the hider who has hidden deep within. They are asking precision questions to narrow down the location, while the hider is trying to remain undetected. The hider has a two-dice roll curse that they are contemplating using, which could potentially slow down the seekers. The seekers are getting desperate, realizing they might not find the hider in time.

35:08

🎉 The Hider's Victory and The Seekers' Regret

The hider has successfully evaded the seekers, securing second place and leaving the seekers to reflect on their strategies and the hider's cunning. The seekers are still searching, but the hider has managed to stay hidden, demonstrating their skill and the effectiveness of their chosen hiding spot. The game has reached its climax, with the hider celebrating their victory and the seekers left to consider what could have been done differently.

40:09

🛫 The Finale's Unexpected Twist

In a surprising twist, the hider reveals that the finale of the game is available on Nebula for the seekers to watch during their flight. Despite their exhaustion and the intense game, the seekers are excited about the opportunity to watch the finale offline during their long flight. This unexpected development provides a satisfying conclusion to their experience, allowing them to enjoy the fruits of their labor in a unique way.

Transcripts

00:00

Hello, and welcome to episode four

00:02

of hide-and-seek across Switzerland.

00:04

Right now, we're exactly halfway through the game

00:06

with two days remaining.

00:08

I'm about to start my first run as Hider,

00:10

and the stakes couldn't be higher.

00:11

If I can last until the end of the day,

00:13

I'll win the game right then and there.

00:15

There wouldn't be enough time left in our four days

00:17

for either Ben or Adam to get back into first place.

00:20

But that's not gonna be easy.

00:21

Ben and Adam are planning on playing aggressively this round,

00:24

so I've gotta hope that I've picked the right hiding spot.

00:27

And we are...

00:29

so back!

00:30

So I think it's worth narrating

00:32

what Ben and Adam are doing right now.

00:35

At least, I think, so, you know.

00:37

They're starting at the playground. We know that.

00:39

(softly) Hello, good morning.

00:40

We're talking quietly because

00:42

we're in an extremely residential area.

00:44

And we're just on a playground,

00:46

which feels creepy anyway. Yeah.

00:47

And Adam is probably starting by saying something like,

00:51

"Ben, the first train out of here is in five minutes,

00:53

and we're an eight-minute walk away,

00:55

so we gotta run."

00:56

And as soon as the clock strikes 7:30,

00:58

we gotta run to the train station

01:00

because there is a train in five minutes to Lucerne.

01:03

That's true. We know that from yesterday.

01:06

So they can make it,

01:07

but it's going to be tight and stressful.

01:10

(quietly) Alright, go, go, go!

01:14

Okay.

01:15

And...

01:16

I think there's maybe a 50-50 shot

01:18

Ben is clutching his hat like this.

01:20

Who knows?

01:23

(metal crashing)

01:26

(laughs) No!

01:28

Yeah.

01:29

(metal clattering) Oh dear.

01:31

I didn't even see that.

01:32

Okay, that's fine.

01:33

(wheezes)

01:35

Keep going, keep going.

01:37

I think they're gonna make it?

01:39

I think they're gonna make it.

01:40

But, you know, we'll see.

01:45

What?

01:46

Where our turn is, do you remember?

01:48

No, I think it's up here.

01:57

(breathes exhaustedly)

01:59

I totally got the wind knocked out of me.

02:02

And I ran into that sign.

02:03

It's okay.

02:04

Oh, it's so dark.

02:06

Alright, Ben, let's ask the rhyme question.

02:09

I still think that asking that first

02:11

is the best strat.

02:12

Okay, we're buying the rhymes.

02:14

Alright, they've asked for rhymes.

02:16

Which is not a surprising start,

02:18

'cause I think we agree that that's a very good start.

02:21

However, because of that,

02:23

I prepared for these yesterday on my way here,

02:25

and I already have the words.

02:27

One of the reasons I liked it here

02:28

was because it had a very common ending to its name.

02:32

That applies to a lot of other places too.

02:34

Anyway, we'll send it over shortly.

02:48

Luxembourg, Endomorph, Hawk,

02:51

Pen, Monsieur.

03:03

Doesn't rhyme with Basel.

03:05

Et cetera, et cetera.

03:07

Let's hit him with longitude.

03:08

Yeah, I mean, this is still going to determine

03:10

what direction we go next.

03:13

Right now, Ben and Adam have determined

03:15

that they just need to keep me under 250 total coins,

03:17

because that's when the likelihood

03:19

of rolling top-tier curses becomes too high.

03:22

But until then, they've decided to ask

03:23

whatever questions they want.

03:25

Let's hit him with longitude.

03:27

Alright, question number two: longitude.

03:30

Another thing that I thought about,

03:31

I've gone to an area that has...

03:35

quite a lot of train lines.

03:37

There are quite a lot of options around here.

03:40

So longitude, it'll narrow it down a bit,

03:42

but not massively.

03:45

Alright Ben, Sam is east of us.

03:47

Okay, well then we should probably head towards Zürich.

03:50

We should probably head towards the general Zürich area.

03:52

But unfortunately, east is

03:54

a little more complicated than if he had been west of us.

03:58

I was really hoping he was going to be west.

03:59

I had more of a plan for west.

04:01

I mean, one thing we could do, Ben...

04:04

We could do geographic region.

04:06

Find out if he's up here or down here.

04:08

Because I think we agree it's more likely he's north.

04:12

Well...

04:13

I think in that case,

04:15

what might be more useful is to do...

04:18

canton region.

04:20

No, because we're in this region,

04:21

and I don't think he's here.

04:23

And I'm saying if we just go up into the Zürich area.

04:27

But then we have to go to Zürich.

04:28

I know, but...

04:30

I think that there's a very, very, very good chance

04:33

that he's in there. And if he's not, that tells us

04:35

a lot of information.

04:43

Okay. We're in Lucerne.

04:45

Let's get off, figure out our next move.

04:55

Okay, welcome back to Lucerne.

04:57

I think the next thing that we really want to know

05:00

is just basically, is he north of us or south of us?

05:02

Is he in the sort of dense Zürich-y area?

05:05

Or is he way down in the far reaches of whatever?

05:07

I think he's in the dense Zürich-y area.

05:08

I think he's almost definitely around there.

05:10

But even then, it's a matter of figuring out...

05:14

Yeah. Is he near Winterthur,

05:15

or is he in one of the suburbs?

05:17

Yeah. Alright.

05:18

I actually really need to go to the bathroom.

05:20

Okay, you do that.

05:21

Alright, well, it seems like

05:22

they're holding off on additional questions for now.

05:24

So, let's talk strategy.

05:28

So, I have one very major disadvantage in this game,

05:31

which is that, at this point,

05:34

it seems almost impossible that I'll get a second run.

05:38

The one advantage that I have, though,

05:40

is I have two rounds that I have learned from.

05:44

And I feel like I've learned a lot

05:46

about how to position myself in the right place

05:49

to make it as difficult as possible for them.

05:52

One thing that I noticed is both of them,

05:54

they went basically to the maximum theoretical distance

05:57

that they could go, based on their transition time.

06:01

I didn't. I could've gone further than this.

06:03

Not by too much, but I'm not at the theoretical limit

06:06

of how far I could go.

06:08

The long game, I don't think is going to be too difficult for them.

06:11

The medium game, though...

06:13

That's going to be tricky.

06:14

'Cause there's just so many rail lines

06:16

around this area of the country.

06:19

So many places.

06:20

It's one of the densest areas.

06:22

Even once they narrow it down to here,

06:24

I've come to a city.

06:26

I saw how difficult it was to narrow down

06:28

in just that small place with only so many streets

06:32

yesterday with Ben.

06:33

I've come to a place that has way more streets, way more density,

06:36

way more options for where I can be.

06:39

So, it's gonna be tricky. We'll see.

06:43

Adam, welcome back from the bathroom.

06:45

How was it?

06:46

You know, a life hack.

06:48

Always go to the bathroom on a train

06:50

because they made me pay.

06:51

Okay Ben, what do we want to do?

06:53

I mean, maybe we should just ask a question

06:54

to confirm that he's not south.

06:56

I think we definitely need to confirm he's not south.

06:59

Okay, in that case,

07:00

if we really want to confirm that he's not south,

07:03

then I do think that the...

07:05

geographic region question

07:07

will cleanly eliminate basically all of that.

07:10

Yeah, but we have to wait another nine minutes

07:11

before we can ask that question.

07:12

Well, they've made it to Lucerne.

07:14

So it'll be interesting to see where they go next.

07:18

I mean, the correct place

07:20

for them to go next would be Zürich.

07:21

And that would be fairly intuitive.

07:23

And I wouldn't be too concerned

07:25

because there are just so many options out of Zürich.

07:27

I'd only get concerned, kind of,

07:29

if they get on the right line out of Zürich.

07:32

Do you want to...

07:34

hop on a train toward Zürich?

07:36

(huffs) I mean, it's a little risky.

07:39

But I think that the chance

07:41

that he is that direction is very high.

07:44

Okay, when's the next train to Zürich?

07:46

It's in three minutes.

07:48

Oh goodness, okay.

07:51

So, why don't we go for it?

07:56

Okay, right here, right here.

08:04

Okay, so...

08:06

Our train to Zürich is leaving.

08:08

But we need to ask a question now

08:10

to confirm whether or not he's north of us.

08:13

So, we're buying the information

08:15

of whether or not he's in the same geographic region as us.

08:19

So, like, if he says he's in the Alps,

08:21

that does mean that he's south of us, but...

08:25

If he's in the Plateau,

08:27

then it does mean that we're going the right way.

08:30

Alright, new question.

08:33

No, it went away. But they asked

08:35

whether we're in the same geographic region.

08:38

I'm not actually sure. Let's check.

08:46

Alright.

08:47

He should be answering us any second.

08:50

Yes, he's in the Plateau.

08:52

Okay, that's good to know. Okay.

08:54

And that significantly limits his region.

08:58

(marker scribbling)

09:04

Yeah.

09:11

Yeah, I mean...

09:13

We've given him, you know,

09:14

a decent number of coins, but not too many.

09:19

Look, he might even be celebrating right now.

09:21

He might be like, "Great, I have all these coins."

09:23

But we're coming for your ass, Sam.

09:25

I'm already at 90 coins,

09:26

'cause that's two comparative questions

09:28

plus an oddball. That's 90 coins.

09:30

I'm almost to a two-dice roll curse.

09:32

I'm guessing, based on yesterday,

09:34

they're gonna take an approach

09:35

of asking a ton of questions to try to narrow me down,

09:38

which means that I can just pepper them with curses,

09:41

and potentially roll a pretty devastating one.

09:44

We'll see.

09:46

Alright, well, it seems like they're on a train out of Lucerne,

09:49

I think to Zürich based on the timing.

09:50

Not 100% sure.

09:52

But, I'm gonna use this opportunity

09:53

to start surveying my zone.

09:55

You know, looking for hiding spots.

09:56

What do I get here?

09:57

You know, all that.

09:58

And, my first destination,

10:01

which I think might be a great hiding spot,

10:03

is right in front of me.

10:05

The forest.

10:07

So again, we're sort of playing Guess Who here.

10:09

You ever play Guess Who?

10:11

Where you're trying to be like, "Are you bald?"

10:13

It's that game. Yeah.

10:15

Mark Rober made a great video about Guess Who.

10:17

And what he said is, the best way to play Guess Who

10:19

is with each question, try to eliminate

10:21

50% of all possibilities.

10:23

Yeah, and so, with every question,

10:25

we're just trying to cut off half the map, and...

10:27

I do think that the best way

10:29

of cutting off the next half of the map

10:30

is to ask a 25-mile radius right about now.

10:33

I think that that is right.

10:35

Because that would basically tell us,

10:37

are you here, or are you out here?

10:40

Right.

10:41

Either way, I would quite like to know the answer.

10:43

It cuts about halfway through the northern Zürich suburbs.

10:47

Right, but again, I think we're being right to just...

10:50

don't fear buying information.

10:52

No.

10:53

Buy the information immediately.

10:55

We will worry about curses later.

10:56

As long as we keep it under 300 coins,

10:58

I think we are not really in danger.

11:00

Yep.

11:01

Ooh, they've asked for a radar.

11:03

And they've asked for a 25-mile radar.

11:05

I think I'm outside of that. Let me check.

11:08

Ooh, okay, it's gonna be a miss, but just barely.

11:11

Oh, that's gonna be really misleading.

11:14

Because it's like, they clearly thought

11:15

maybe I was in the greater Zürich area,

11:18

and I kind of am.

11:19

Anyway, I think this is gonna trip them up.

11:21

That's lucky.

11:22

Okay, so...

11:24

This is interesting. The radius was a miss.

11:25

I actually think that's really good news.

11:28

I think that is really helpful information.

11:30

That means he is not...

11:34

in Zürich.

11:35

And he's not in sort of the northern Zürich suburbs.

11:37

Okay, I need to try...

11:39

I think I think that means we want to go to Winterthur.

11:42

Probably.

11:58

Yeah, this is looking promising.

12:03

So, from here you can see

12:04

the other key advantage of my zone.

12:07

Not only are there woods here, but over there too.

12:11

So there are two zones of woods

12:13

that they're gonna have to search.

12:15

Okay, I'm gonna poke into these woods a bit

12:18

to see... what it would look like

12:21

to hide in them.

12:24

I kinda like this spot.

12:25

I'm gonna take a mental note of it, but...

12:28

Let's go poke around our zone some more.

12:45

Okay, welcome to Zürich.

12:47

For the first time in the game.

12:49

Well, maybe. Sam might've been here.

12:50

That's true.

12:51

Was he here?

12:52

Let us know.

12:53

He almost certainly went through Zürich,

12:54

wherever he went.

12:55

Yeah. He's up here.

12:56

We've boxed him in pretty good,

12:58

but now there's...

12:59

dozens and dozens and dozens of towns.

13:01

Lots of places he could be.

13:02

I mean, I really hope he's not here.

13:05

Probably not. Probably not.

13:08

That would be annoying.

13:09

There are a few options.

13:11

We could ask the canton question

13:13

and eliminate all of this.

13:15

Yep. Or confirm it.

13:18

I think that would not be a bad idea.

13:20

No, I mean that gets us pretty close to half the—

13:22

Or we could go to Winterthur

13:24

and do a 10-mile radar.

13:26

Yeah. Which is slightly cheaper.

13:27

There's a good chance, I mean,

13:29

I feel like one of our top theories at this point

13:31

is that he's in one of the weird towns

13:33

outside of Winterthur.

13:34

One other thing we could do is

13:35

we could split the remaining territory down the middle

13:38

by asking if he's near the same

13:40

International airport. 'Cause there's one in Zürich,

13:42

and there's one in St. Gallen, here.

13:45

And we could find out if he's here or here, but...

13:48

(squacks)

13:50

I don't know! I mean...

13:51

Maybe we just need to stick to our guns

13:55

of eliminating 50%.

13:56

I agree.

13:57

And eliminating 50% would mean

14:00

the airport question would eliminate closest to 50%.

14:04

But the thing is, it's 50% of the area.

14:07

I don't know that it's 50% of the options.

14:09

Ugh, let's look at the maps again.

14:11

Look, we're at the point where

14:12

we have to be very careful about the questions that we ask.

14:15

Well, looks like they made it to Zürich.

14:17

Which is...

14:19

I don't think I should be too concerned about that,

14:20

'cause it was kind of the most obvious train

14:24

to the east from Lucerne.

14:26

So it'll be interesting to see which train out of there they take.

14:29

I don't think they have nearly enough info

14:30

to figure out where I am yet,

14:32

unless they had a really good guess.

14:34

I feel pretty good about asking the canton.

14:37

But, I don't know, it's like, there's all this (bleep)

14:40

But I guess he couldn't be in any of this.

14:42

I don't think he could quite be in any of this.

14:45

But— I think he could be here.

14:46

Yeah, I like canton.

14:48

That's expensive, but I think it's the most useful question.

14:51

I think that that's probably the closest

14:53

to eliminating 50% of possibilities.

14:56

(sighs) Okay, let's do it.

14:59

Alright, new question.

15:01

Same canton?

15:02

I'm not sure, let's check.

15:05

We should be prepared to go to Winterthur.

15:08

Yeah, I honestly think we should go to Winterthur,

15:10

kind of, no matter what. Okay.

15:12

Sam? Ugh.

15:13

Are you in the same canton as us?

15:16

Sam? What do you hope he says?

15:17

I hope he says yes, probably.

15:20

Okay, well that's unfortunate.

15:22

They got me.

15:23

It's a big canton though, with a lot of stuff, so...

15:26

That still could take 'em a bit,

15:28

but that really narrows it down for them.

15:30

Anyway.

15:32

That's how the jets lag.

15:34

You wanna go?

15:35

Yeah, yeah. Alright, let's go.

15:37

Let's do it.

15:40

Alright, off to Winterthur.

15:42

Alright.

15:43

Okay.

15:44

Ben, he is in the same canton as us

15:47

which continues to be useful information.

15:50

I mean, that cuts off a big old chunk.

15:52

Well, you're probably seeing a motion graphic version of this,

15:55

but he's somewhere in here.

15:57

I think that is quite useful information.

16:00

We're zeroing in on him.

16:01

I think once we get to Winterthur,

16:02

maybe a 5-mile radar or something.

16:05

I mean, certainly if he's not within five miles of Winterthur,

16:08

then, I don't know where...

16:11

I don't know where he could be.

16:13

I think that the real question is...

16:14

what is this rough size of the place that he is in?

16:18

Right.

16:19

A photo of the train station might be helpful for that.

16:25

I like photo of the train station regardless.

16:29

'Cause it's a great way to check.

16:31

'Cause you can check...

16:33

It's always useful to check.

16:35

Okay.

16:36

Let's ask for a photo of the train station.

16:38

I think that, you know,

16:39

we're gonna need that photo at a certain point.

16:41

Yeah, might as well get it now.

16:43

Might as well get it now while we're on our way.

16:45

Yeah.

16:45

We're still in safe territory.

16:47

Mostly safe territory.

16:50

To be clear.

16:51

Mostly safe.

16:53

Okay, well, I basically just made it

16:54

to wood zone number two,

16:55

and was gonna start surveying, but...

16:57

they asked for a photo of the train station.

17:01

And I think I have some ideas about how to make it

17:03

...not that indicative.

17:05

Okay, so here's my thinking.

17:08

Outside of this station is all kind of

17:11

the same style of brick and windows and everything,

17:14

so I think any exterior shot is going to be pretty indicative.

17:16

But...

17:19

We are allowed interior shots.

17:22

And you can see in here.

17:25

And I looked on Google.

17:27

There's not a single photo of this interior.

17:30

(camera click)

17:32

Much like Ben's yesterday,

17:33

I don't think that a shot of that would be useful

17:36

until they're here, which is what I want.

17:38

So I think I'm gonna try that.

17:40

See how that works.

17:55

Hello, and welcome to Winterthur.

17:59

(coughs)

18:00

Okay, well Sam just sent us a picture,

18:01

and I think it's pretty useful.

18:03

This is a picture of the train station.

18:06

Well, it's telling... Which tells me...

18:09

It's probably not a super rural station.

18:13

(sighs)

18:14

Maybe he's here?

18:15

I mean, there are ways we could find out if he's here.

18:26

(sighs) Well...

18:30

Okay, small problem.

18:32

Actually, you know what? I'll change that.

18:34

I might characterize that as major problem.

18:37

Eeehhh...

18:39

They're downtown.

18:41

How did they guess this place?

18:44

Aw, man.

18:47

That is bad.

18:49

I think I'm gonna start walking towards the forest.

18:53

Just in case, you know?

18:57

I think what we should do is,

18:59

I think about half of the remaining train stations

19:01

are within five miles of here.

19:03

I think about half are outside of it.

19:05

I agree.

19:06

It's certainly densest closest to right here.

19:09

So I kind of think... we hit him with the radar.

19:13

Either way, we then make a list

19:15

of every remaining train station that also rhymes.

19:19

I think then, we find some clever way

19:23

to use an oddball or photo to eliminate half of those.

19:29

I think that's... That's kind of my opinion.

19:30

I think that that's doable. But I agree.

19:32

I think that probably the most sensible thing to do

19:35

is just to drop a small radius here

19:37

Yeah. and just see...

19:38

Is he close to Winterthur,

19:40

or is he in the sort of outskirts?

19:41

But I will remind you. I mean, 30...

19:43

A radar puts him at 205.

19:46

I don't want to let him get to 250

19:48

if we can avoid it. I agree.

19:49

I think under no circumstances can we let him get to 300.

19:54

Because if he's at 300, he has a 50% chance

19:56

of being allowed to move his hiding spot.

19:59

Which would be a true disaster.

20:01

Let's go ahead and put down that...

20:04

You want to. Put down that radar.

20:07

Okay, let's do it.

20:10

They did a 5-mile radar.

20:16

I don't think I'm escaping this one.

20:18

How did they guess here first out of everywhere?

20:23

That— There has to have been

20:25

some luck involved in that, right?

20:28

Oh, man.

20:30

Alright.

20:32

I'm gonna let them know.

20:35

Alright, answer should be coming any minute.

20:38

Mmm, I'm hungry.

20:40

You wanna get some food?

20:41

Yeah.

20:41

I mean, here.

20:42

Is this a coffee shop?

20:43

Yeah, okay. Looks like it.

20:46

Ooh. It's a hit, Ben.

20:48

Folks, it's a hit. It's a hit.

20:50

So that means we are within five miles of Sam right now.

20:52

Look, we're two hours in.

20:54

We're within five miles of the man.

20:56

I feel pretty good about that.

20:57

Here's what I'll say. We're two hours in right now.

20:59

I'm doubtful that he'll make it ten hours.

21:01

Unless it takes us eight hours to figure out—

21:03

Just don't say anything. Yeah, you're right.

21:05

Just don't say anything. Let's sit down

21:06

and make a list of where he could be.

21:07

Okay.

21:08

To be honest, I don't think this is going to be a winning run.

21:12

But, I actually have the money

21:14

– or the coins rather – for four dice.

21:17

He's going to be very excited about all these coins.

21:19

With four dice, pretty good chance

21:21

that he could roll something pretty good.

21:23

The curses start getting bad around 17,

21:27

they start to really get messy.

21:29

I think he has a pretty solid chance

21:31

of hitting at least a 17 with 4.

21:33

Yeah.

21:34

So, I think I might as well see what curse I get.

21:36

See if that can at least get me a little something.

21:40

Here we go.

21:41

This is kind of the last Hail Mary.

21:45

Oh, that doesn't look good.

21:48

Swiss cheese curse.

21:49

Before you ask your next question,

21:51

you must acquire 8 ounces of Swiss cheese

21:53

and fill in all of its holes on the outside

21:55

– you may break it open to make holes –

21:56

with other types of cheese.

21:58

You may not advance in the game

21:59

until you have a solid block of cheese

22:01

from outward appearance.

22:03

(sputters)

22:07

I feel like... again...

22:10

They have to have gotten at least a little bit lucky, right?

22:13

Okay. Well...

22:14

We were about to sit down for some coffee,

22:18

but he's hit us with a curse.

22:19

Which to me, incredible news

22:21

because it means he has spent at least two dice.

22:25

We actually don't have to do this curse right now

22:27

because this is just before we ask our next question.

22:29

Yeah, but let's just knock it out.

22:31

There's a cheese shop right there.

22:33

(laughs uproariously)

22:34

Sorry, Sam.

22:35

Aw, dude, that totally sucks for you, man!

22:41

Thank you. Thank you.

22:43

You ready to look like lunatics?

22:45

Yeah, that's what we do best!

22:48

You gotta imagine he was not pleased with that.

22:50

No, that's... (laughs)

22:51

That's a brutal roll. It's also like...

22:54

I don't know if he rolled two dice.

22:55

I don't know if he rolled three. I don't know if he rolled four.

22:57

I kinda bet he rolled four.

22:59

There is a chance that he rolled four.

23:01

And if he rolled four, I'm so sorry, Sam.

23:05

This sucks.

23:10

Ah, damn it.

23:11

Another thing I would say for Sam, unfortunately,

23:14

and maybe he's in Winterthur,

23:16

maybe that's why he did this, but...

23:19

Don't hit us with a curse

23:20

when we're in the middle of a dense city.

23:22

That actually makes me think

23:23

that he might be in Winterthur.

23:25

Maybe he thinks that we're in the endgame now.

23:29

If he's hitting us with a curse now.

23:32

It's possible.

23:33

Do you want to do it, or shall I?

23:36

Okay, here we go.

23:38

We're opening our cheese.

23:40

It turns out in Switzerland, they do not call it Swiss cheese.

23:42

Yeah, we were in the store, and we were like,

23:44

"There's not one labeled Swiss cheese.

23:46

What do we do?"

23:47

No, only America has the audacity

23:50

to name a cheese after itself.

23:53

And now there's a problem.

23:54

As you can see, it's full of holes.

23:56

Right. Seemingly a manufacturing error,

23:58

I would assume.

23:58

But we are gonna go ahead

23:59

and fix that for you, Switzerland.

24:01

Wow, you really can smell that cheese.

24:03

Yeah.

24:03

Alright, your hands are gonna get a little messy.

24:05

Yeah, I think that's just,

24:07

you know, an occupational hazard.

24:09

And we're just gonna go ahead and...

24:12

fill up our holes here.

24:14

I hope it makes him feel better

24:15

that it's kind of unpleasant for you.

24:17

Yeah, well...

24:22

No, it's pleasant.

24:23

Alright, I believe...

24:26

We've done it.

24:27

That's a solid block of cheese.

24:28

Switzerland, you are welcome.

24:30

We have gone ahead and fixed your cheese.

24:32

We went ahead and fixed your cheese.

24:33

Now it's good for eating.

24:35

Yeah.

24:38

Curse complete.

24:42

That took, what, ten minutes?

24:44

Yeah.

24:45

Alright, I think now let's go to the coffee shop

24:47

and figure out what to do next.

24:49

Alright, well...

24:51

I would say so far, things have gone quite well.

24:53

I mean, the fact that he used those cursed dice is...

24:57

I would argue, great for us and a massive mistake for him.

25:00

But honestly...

25:02

Unless he's here.

25:03

The only reason I can think that he would do that—

25:05

It doesn't make sense.

25:08

Unless he's here.

25:09

He either did something stupid, or he's here.

25:11

But we can go check the train station for that photo.

25:13

Well, that's one thing we can do.

25:15

Another thing we can do

25:16

is we can ask him for a picture of a McDonald's

25:18

because almost anywhere in Winterthur

25:20

will be within a mile of a McDonald's.

25:22

And none of those other towns have McDonald's, right?

25:24

I'm pretty sure that that is the case.

25:29

Let's ask for a photo of a McDonald's.

25:30

Okay. Photo of McDonald's.

25:32

And honestly, that,

25:33

if he is here, that can help us figure out

25:36

what part of town he's in.

25:37

Yeah.

25:38

Alright.

25:39

They're asking for a photo from McDonald's.

25:42

There's one in the zone.

25:44

Let's go get it.

25:46

Alright, I have arrived at the McDonald's.

25:51

Let's find a nice five-foot tranche.

25:54

It's hard to identify windows.

25:56

Maybe the windows and that little poster.

25:58

Yeah, let's do that.

26:00

(camera click)

26:03

Alright, I'm gonna go walk to the woods.

26:06

To at least be near my hiding spot

26:10

for once they trend here.

26:12

Okay, he sent us— He's by a McDonald's.

26:13

He sent us a photo of a McDonald's,

26:15

which means that he is in Winterthur.

26:17

Oh, Sam.

26:19

Oh, buddy.

26:20

But that explains why he used the curse on us.

26:23

Yeah, it does.

26:25

Okay, well, I figure we can figure out

26:27

which McDonald's this is.

26:28

We're right next to one of them.

26:31

There's four.

26:32

We're not allowed to use Street View.

26:34

We're allowed to look at pictures,

26:36

but I think he has very intentionally—

26:38

Ooh—!

26:41

Is that it?

26:42

I mean, those are the same benches.

26:44

Which one is that? Same benches.

26:47

Same ground.

26:48

I think it's this one.

26:50

The man's in trouble.

26:51

I mean, here's what I will say.

26:52

We have not yet played an endgame

26:54

in a dense urban area.

26:56

It could be quite difficult.

26:58

And it's still very possible he could get second.

27:00

We are not outta the woods.

27:02

Alright, back at the forest.

27:04

This is where I was almost

27:06

before they sent me to the station.

27:08

This is kind of the more convoluted forest to get to.

27:13

So I'm hoping that, you know,

27:15

once they probably ask a precision question

27:17

that shows that I'm in the forest,

27:19

they'll go start searching the other one first.

27:22

We'll see.

27:23

But...

27:25

Hopefully I can find a nice, dense spot in here.

27:28

Alright.

27:30

Really gaining some altitude here.

27:32

This path that I'm on

27:34

isn't even marked on Google Maps.

27:37

So...

27:39

Hopefully it's a bit tricky to find?

27:41

And then I think I'll find a good spot...

27:44

you know, actually in the woods.

27:46

Alright, Ben. Let's kick it.

27:47

So we're what, we're just over three hours in?

27:51

I think that we can get him before

27:53

four and a half, which was my time.

27:55

I think so too.

27:56

I would, because again,

27:57

I really would like to remain at least in second place.

27:59

Unless he's picked a really amazing hiding spot.

28:02

In fact, you know what?

28:04

I bet that's exactly what he's going for.

28:06

Alright, six minutes from McDonald's.

28:09

I mean, we should be entering the endgame

28:12

any moment, really.

28:13

Well, they're going the wrong way.

28:15

(record scratch)

28:16

Which is promising.

28:17

It looks like they're walking to another McDonald's

28:19

that kind of has a similar profile

28:21

in that it's near a secondary station in the city.

28:26

Not the main station.

28:28

But they're not walking to the right one.

28:29

They're walking, in fact, exactly away from me.

28:33

So they're now almost two miles away.

28:35

They're on completely the other side of the city.

28:43

It's looking promising.

28:47

I'm not seeing benches right now,

28:48

but I think they're probably in the back.

28:52

I sure hope this McDonald's matches.

28:53

Because if it doesn't, that's going to be really annoying.

28:55

At about this moment,

28:57

Ben and Adam are going to realize...

29:00

that they're at the wrong McDonald's.

29:03

Sorry, guys.

29:05

There was that sign.

29:07

A guy running.

29:11

I don't see a guy running.

29:13

No running guy?

29:18

Not promising. No.

29:20

He might have tricked us.

29:23

Let's double check.

29:24

There's a reflection in the window

29:26

of a barricade.

29:29

Alright.

29:31

Yeah, I see that.

29:32

And it's a different kind of fence.

29:35

Ooh.

29:36

I think I got it.

29:37

I think it's this one.

29:39

Okay, we'll head out there.

29:40

Okay.

29:44

Yeah, he got our asses.

29:47

Well, now things get a little more interesting

29:49

in terms of if we can find him...

29:51

in time for second place.

29:53

Okay, yeah.

29:55

We can take a train over there.

29:56

Okay, great.

29:57

It's a little annoying.

29:58

Okay, let's get on this train and get to his McDonald's.

30:02

So, in order to make it to second place...

30:05

It's 10:55 now.

30:08

I need to make it until 12:14.

30:12

Which is not that much longer.

30:15

I mean, that feels... possible, right?

30:20

Okay, so it was just a little bit of research,

30:21

and it looks like they definitely had

30:24

some bad luck with a 50-50 shot

30:26

because there are only four McDonald's

30:27

within the 5-mile radius.

30:29

That one's in the city center,

30:30

so it clearly would not match that photo.

30:32

That one's in a mall, also clearly would not match.

30:35

So they're basically these two that would match.

30:38

I photoed this one. They went to this one.

30:41

That's pretty bad luck.

30:42

That does, however, mean

30:44

that they're almost certainly headed here now.

30:47

This is us.

30:48

Just one stop.

30:49

Alright, Sam, this better be the (bleep) right McDonald's.

31:00

Alright, Ben. Well, now,

31:01

it's a 16 minute walk to the other McDonald's.

31:04

Excellent.

31:05

Coming for you, Sam, finally.

31:13

Alright, they're nearly at the close McDonald's.

31:16

Which...

31:18

tells me that they're about to find out

31:20

that they're basically in the endgame.

31:23

So it's time to find a nice, cozy spot

31:27

in the woods.

31:28

I'm gonna leave the path here and push into the woods.

31:31

I think the further, the better.

31:34

Need it to be thicc!

31:36

T-H-I-C-C.

31:39

I think that's it.

31:42

It's the same kind—

31:47

See?

31:49

That's it.

31:51

That's it, alright.

31:53

Wait, wait, I've always wanted to do this.

31:54

I've always wanted to do the thing that...

31:57

"Sam's been here." You know?

31:59

Like detectives do. Oh sure, okay, yeah.

32:01

Okay, great.

32:03

Let's find him.

32:04

Alright.

32:06

Found a nice little spot here.

32:08

And I think, if I lie down...

32:11

it shouldn't be visible

32:13

from the paths around here.

32:16

I think.

32:17

I think let's start with street.

32:20

Yeah, we'll get a street, because that'll give us...

32:23

And we can start looking.

32:24

Maybe a direction to go.

32:27

Alright.

32:28

They've asked for the letter of the first street.

32:32

Which is 'A'.

32:33

Hopefully there are a lot of 'A' streets around.

32:38

And at least I don't think that'll be very useful,

32:39

but it might narrow them down

32:40

to this set of woods versus the other.

32:43

But then there's also this giant park in his area.

32:47

Yeah.

32:47

And it would be very much like Sam

32:49

to go hide in a park.

32:50

Yeah, to hike.

32:53

'Cause I think it's a mountain.

32:54

I don't even know that it's a park.

32:55

I think it just sort of is a mountain.

32:57

Nearest street, 'A', okay.

32:58

Do any of the streets in the park start with 'A'?

33:02

No.

33:03

Not that I... can tell.

33:05

Not that I see.

33:07

Hold on, just really quick.

33:08

Here's something that no one has realized yet.

33:10

The 'A' street that I'm near – Auenrainstrasse –

33:13

is really small. So small, in fact,

33:15

that its name won't show up on Google Maps

33:17

unless you zoom all the way in to check it.

33:19

And that's about to spell trouble for Ben and Adam.

33:22

What are streets around here that start with 'A'?

33:25

There's Anton-Graff-Strasse.

33:27

There's Agnesstrasse and Ankerstrasse.

33:31

Did you get Albrechtstrasse?

33:33

I just want to make sure that he's not in the park.

33:36

I think that he can't be.

33:38

I mean, I still think the photo might be the best.

33:40

Okay, photo. Photo up or back?

33:43

Probably... ba...

33:46

What do you think?

33:47

I think let's hit him with an up actually.

33:49

Okay. 'Cause he's probably near buildings.

33:51

Alright, they're asking for a photo up.

33:54

This is gonna be...

33:57

This is gonna give away a lot.

33:59

(camera click)

34:02

I would just say again,

34:03

we don't have the most time ever to find him.

34:05

No.

34:06

In order for me to stay in second place,

34:07

we need to find him in the next 45-ish minutes.

34:10

Okay, we got the photo.

34:11

Oh, those are trees.

34:13

It's all trees.

34:15

It's all trees.

34:16

Big time tree situation.

34:18

Huh, okay.

34:19

That's helpful. That's interesting.

34:21

But I really don't think that, I mean...

34:23

Maybe we need to look real closely.

34:26

What about this?

34:27

Amselweg.

34:28

Amselweg?

34:30

Ooh.

34:32

Yeah, I like that.

34:34

I like that.

34:35

I mean, right now, I don't see

34:37

any other place that qualifies.

34:40

But I don't wanna go all the way over there.

34:42

It's gonna be a long walk if we're wrong.

34:44

Can we do walk to the train station?

34:47

How long would it take you to walk to the train station?

34:49

I think let's ask him that, and let's start heading that way.

34:52

Okay?

34:53

Okay.

34:54

Yeah.

34:55

I don't, I mean... We gotta find him in time.

34:58

I think that...

34:59

I don't see any other places that he could be.

35:03

Next question: How long to walk to the train station?

35:08

Let's see what it says.

35:11

Hm.

35:12

Yeah, because Google doesn't have

35:14

all of the paths marked out kind of in this area.

35:18

So it thinks it takes longer than it does, basically.

35:22

Did you check how far of a walk

35:24

it is from the train station, if we are right?

35:29

So I think anything, yeah, anything in that,

35:32

within a couple minutes of that, we keep going.

35:39

31 minutes.

35:41

Okay, so it can't be that.

35:43

Well...

35:44

Probably not, but...

35:49

Yeah.

35:50

Hold on. Probably not.

35:51

Hold on. Let's re-evaluate.

35:55

Now I'm getting really nervous about finding him in time.

35:57

Yeah, yeah. Okay.

36:00

Here's the thing.

36:02

There are not a lot of places that are going to be

36:06

that far of a walk from the train station.

36:14

Come on!

36:16

They're still in this random park.

36:19

It really feels like they're wasting a lot of time there.

36:22

We have to find him in the next 14 minutes, Ben.

36:24

I think we just need to guess in a direction.

36:26

I think we need to start walking north.

36:30

And just hope that that works or something.

36:33

It's 14 minutes or nothing.

36:37

Alright, we need to figure out...

36:39

Just another question.

36:41

But he's for sure in the woods.

36:45

I think we should ask for street orientation.

36:48

Okay, good news.

36:50

Actually, let's do bad news first.

36:51

Bad news is it's raining.

36:53

The good news is that

36:55

it's getting very close to my second place time.

36:58

And they're not even going in the right direction.

37:01

This is great.

37:03

I'm imagining they're...

37:05

It's kind of hard to spot

37:06

the road that I'm closest to on the map

37:09

because it's so close to another road.

37:11

I'm imagining that might be tripping them up.

37:13

We'll see. But they just asked for

37:15

the intercardinal direction to that road,

37:17

so I'll give that to them next.

37:19

Oh, Ben.

37:21

What? Where?

37:24

Where could he be?!

37:26

Wait, wait, wait?

37:28

What is this?

37:29

Is this a park?

37:31

It might be. I think it's somebody's yard.

37:33

But it says park.

37:36

Let's go there.

37:38

Well, the trees don't look right, but whatever.

37:43

Let's just start walking there.

37:45

At a minimum.

37:48

Woah.

37:50

I mean, I still just don't know.

37:53

I don't know either, man.

38:02

It's nearly time.

38:04

Wait, let me pull out my watch.

38:06

(rain dripping)

38:12

Well, Ben, it's 12:14,

38:13

which means Sam has slid into second place.

38:16

It's 12:14.

38:17

Do you know what that means?

38:18

That's second place!

38:21

Let's go!

38:24

Well...

38:25

I mean, I still need to deny Adam

38:27

a better time with his next run.

38:30

But, they're still not here.

38:32

And that's me officially in second place.

38:35

Better than I thought was possible

38:36

a couple hours ago.

38:38

So, let's see how long this takes.

38:40

Oh, if we hadn't gone to the wrong McDonald's!

38:44

I think we could've done it.

38:46

Look, I think we're gonna catch him today,

38:48

which means you'll get another shot.

38:49

Which means...

38:51

you can still supplant him.

38:53

Well, I can still supplant you, even.

38:56

That is true.

38:57

Less likely.

38:59

The thing is, we are on an 'A' street,

39:02

and that's the woods-woods.

39:04

But— You just go down this path.

39:06

But this path had the street I believe.

39:08

Does that path not have a name?

39:10

Well, it looks like they're searching

39:12

a completely different set of woods

39:15

that is actually outside of my zone.

39:17

They don't know that.

39:18

That is next to another road that starts with 'A'.

39:22

And all that.

39:23

This just keeps getting better and better.

39:26

It's really just like...

39:28

Where the (bleep) do we go?

39:30

So, Ben and Adam kept looking,

39:32

and still unable to find the right streets,

39:34

they bought a half-mile radar

39:35

to see if they were even in the right part of town.

39:38

Alright, little update.

39:40

First of all, I realized

39:41

I could shove my umbrella down my back.

39:43

And then I wouldn't have to hold it all this time.

39:44

Second of all, they just asked for a half-mile radar,

39:46

which they are not even close to within.

39:49

Ben, our radar was a miss.

39:52

Okay.

39:53

Now knowing they were nowhere close,

39:55

they turned their sights on the other side of town.

39:57

And after a long research session,

39:59

they finally found something.

40:01

Wait.

40:03

What?

40:05

What about Auen...rainstrasse?

40:08

He could be on— Yeah. Yeah.

40:10

Ben, look.

40:11

This path doesn't have a name.

40:14

But if he was on it, he would be nearest to Auenrainstrasse.

40:18

Okay, that's it.

40:20

And then he would be

40:22

far from the (bleep)-ing train station.

40:25

That's where he is. Let's go get him.

40:28

(whispering) (bleep) you, Sam.

40:29

So, confident about my location,

40:31

they set off on an hour-long trek

40:33

to the base of the mountain.

40:34

(sighs)

40:35

I cannot believe it's gonna take

40:37

an hour to walk over there.

40:38

Uuuggh!

40:40

For me personally, Ben, this sucks.

40:42

The thing is, he can't actually be that deep into the woods.

40:45

It's actually...

40:47

The sun has come out, which is nice.

40:50

Kind of cold still, but, you know.

40:52

I didn't expect to be stuck in the endgame for so long.

40:55

So I didn't really bring many snacks.

40:58

Basically the only thing I have are Sports Beans.

41:02

I don't know if you've ever heard of Sports Beans,

41:03

but they're made by jelly beans

41:05

or, you know, Jelly Belly.

41:06

So, I guess this is an impromptu episode of...

41:10

(mumbling)

41:12

Choo Choo Chew: Derailed.

41:14

Definitely not Snack Zone.

41:26

Delicious.

41:28

I kinda hope they get here soon.

41:30

I want some lunch.

41:32

I also wanna win though.

41:47

Okay, we are approaching the woods.

41:50

The big question...

41:52

Which direction do we go?

41:54

I actually think we need to go left.

41:58

Well, I guess one question is

41:59

how deep is he into the woods?

42:02

We could ask him how many feet from the road he is.

42:04

That might be useful. You want to?

42:07

Yeah.

42:07

Okay, here, you go for it.

42:10

Well, they've asked me

42:10

how many feet I am to the nearest road,

42:12

which might help them.

42:14

I don't know, we'll see.

42:16

Alright, I have enough money for a two-dice roll curse.

42:18

I think I'm gonna wait.

42:20

'Cause they kinda get exponentially worse.

42:22

And I think they're going to have to ask

42:24

a good number more precision questions

42:26

to have any good shot of finding me.

42:28

He's 860 feet from the nearest road.

42:30

(bleep)

42:35

Well...

42:37

That would mean he's pretty far.

42:39

(weakly) Oh Sam, you bastard.

42:41

Oh my god.

42:46

We're close. We're a four-minute walk away.

42:48

I'm gonna stump it up.

42:49

Okay.

42:50

We're almost there.

42:51

Well, I think we're almost there.

42:52

Won't it be annoying if we're not?

42:54

The only thing that makes me feel good

42:56

about Sam being at the top of this

42:58

is I know that he thinks that shiz— this (bleep) is funny.

43:01

Ugh.

43:05

Alright, we're starting to get quite close.

43:08

So I'm laying down so that hopefully...

43:10

it'll reduce my visibility from the path

43:12

that you know, they're probably gonna be on.

43:15

We just have to get around this bend.

43:18

He should be on the other side.

43:20

He better be around this corner.

43:22

Okay, they're getting pretty close.

43:26

No, it should be right around here.

43:33

I don't see him.

43:34

He shouldn't be able to see me from there.

43:36

But once they get a little bit closer,

43:38

I'll probably be within eyesight.

43:40

He might be the other way.

43:43

I think we just need to walk up here a little ways.

43:47

Before we count it out.

43:49

They're at the right distance from the road now.

43:54

So they just need to come kind of this way.

43:56

I wonder if they'll go through the forest.

43:58

They might come over that ridge over there.

44:01

So, I'm sure that we've cut this down a lot,

44:03

but I just want to emphasize

44:04

that we've been in the woods for so long now.

44:07

We've been in the woods

44:07

for a truly outrageous amount of time.

44:09

How long have we been in the woods, Ben?

44:10

I don't want to know.

44:14

At least 45 minutes.

44:16

Wait, is that his (bleep) umbrella?

44:20

We got him.

44:22

No, that's just a guy. No, that's a guy.

44:23

No, that's a guy with his dog.

44:25

No, Ben, it's just a guy with his dog.

44:28

It's simply a man with his dog.

44:29

Oh, I thought that was Sam.

44:30

That sucks a lot.

44:32

Oh, I wish that man was Sam.

44:33

I was so confident.

44:34

We really need to reevaluate.

44:36

Okay.

44:37

Despite being only 400 feet from me,

44:38

they still couldn't find me.

44:40

So they asked question...

44:41

We're asking him his distance from his nearest intersection.

44:44

After question...

44:46

We're asking if he's on the same street as us.

44:48

After question...

44:50

Do you wanna ask him any more (bleep) stuff?

44:52

And got lost again...

44:54

Wait. Oh, sorry. I think it's this path.

44:56

Oh, okay.

44:56

Well, it's actually, it's hard to tell.

44:58

And again...

44:59

I mean...

45:01

Nothing?

45:02

Nothing here!

45:04

And again...

45:05

Look man, I don't know.

45:06

I am doing my best.

45:08

And again...

45:09

This is hell, Ben. We're living in hell.

45:11

And again.

45:13

I'm gonna ask these people if they've seen Sam.

45:17

Excuse me!

45:20

Hi.

45:20

Have you seen our friend?

45:22

We're looking for our friend, a blond man?

45:26

Well, I've now been here for...

45:29

three and— more than three and a half hours.

45:32

I do feel bad for them

45:34

because I know how much it sucked

45:35

to be searching for Ben for two hours yesterday.

45:40

And it's been a lot more than that,

45:41

and they've covered a lot more ground.

45:43

I'm sure they're getting tired and frustrated and all that.

45:47

I'm gonna kill Sam.

45:52

I'm going to kill him dead.

45:54

Meanwhile, while I considered continuing

45:56

to hold out for 150 coins so I could roll three dice,

45:59

I ultimately decided to go for a two-dice roll.

46:03

Alright, here we go.

46:05

Ugh, three, come on, that's ridiculous.

46:10

What is that?

46:13

Swiss clock.

46:14

Before you ask your next question,

46:15

you must clap 15 seconds

46:17

after your other team member starts a timer,

46:19

within 0.5 seconds, on each side of 15 seconds.

46:22

If you fail, you must wait

46:23

at least 10 minutes before reattempting.

46:36

Okay, they're coming closer again.

46:39

This might be it.

46:45

(whispering) I think I hear them.

46:48

I see his umbrella.

46:50

I think that's his umbrella.

46:52

Oh, I just heard him say he sees an umbrella.

46:56

(wheezes) I think he's coming.

46:58

There they are.

46:59

Wait, there they are.

47:02

There they are.

47:03

Oh my god, Sam.

47:18

How dare you do this to us.

47:22

I had a great time in the woods.

47:24

Ugh, yeah.

47:26

I'm sure.

47:28

Oh my god, dude.

47:31

I'm stuck in a bramble.

47:34

(giggles) Hi, Sam.

47:35

I think it's very difficult for you, from your side of it,

47:39

to understand just how hard it is

47:41

to figure this out from our side.

47:43

Yes.

47:45

I mean, it's supposed to be hard.

47:48

I'm not mad at you.

47:50

I'm mad at you. I'm just...

47:51

Anyway, you got some running to do.

47:53

The main station is a 51-minute walk from here.

47:56

Yeah.

47:58

So you should probably go.

47:59

Alright guys. Good luck, Adam.

48:00

Not just not such good luck that you got first place.

48:03

See you never. Alright, let's do this.

48:07

You got this.

48:08

Go somewhere in Switzerland.

48:10

Oh my god, this sucks so much.

48:13

He's zooming. He really is zooming.

48:15

Good luck, Adam.

48:17

All it really comes down to is:

48:18

if we catch Adam early tomorrow,

48:20

I'm still in first, and you're still in second.

48:23

But if we can't make that happen,

48:25

he could win the whole thing.

48:26

Yeah, which...

48:28

he would really gloat about.

48:30

He would.

48:32

Look, it's the... The wins go to his head.

48:35

But the solo wins, oh the solo wins.

48:39

Alright, let's do it.

48:44

There's a train in nine minutes.

49:08

The second I get here, I have to run.

49:14

It's a high-risk move.

49:17

It's a high-risk move.

49:34

I think I made it.

49:37

I made it.

49:39

God, I hope this works.

49:46

Ben and Adam are about to leave.

49:47

I'm at the airport.

49:48

But I forgot to mention to them

49:50

that the finale is up on Nebula right now.

49:52

And they have a really long flight.

49:54

It's like 15, 16 hours.

49:56

Oh my gosh, Ben, we're about to board our flight,

49:58

but we don't have anything to watch!

50:00

This flight's gonna be super long.

50:01

I'm gonna get so bored, I'm gonna go cuckoo.

50:04

If only there was a solution

50:06

that would give us something to watch.

50:08

And the finale's up on Nebula right now.

50:10

And they can download it, you know,

50:11

using the Nebula app offline.

50:14

And then that way, they'll have something to watch.

50:16

I don't think such a solution exists.

50:18

I don't think there's any way

50:19

that we could watch anything on our flight.

50:21

And certainly not any episode of our show that we make.

50:24

No. No. Not a new one.

50:26

So even if we could watch an old episode,

50:28

there's no way we could watch a new episode.

50:29

And even if we could do either of those things,

50:31

there's no way that it would be the finale.

50:33

No.

50:33

There's no way to watch it, I don't think.

50:35

I don't think there's a way for us to watch the finale right now.

50:37

There they are, there they are.

50:39

Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys.

50:41

I forgot to mention. What is it?

50:43

The finale is up on Nebula.

50:45

Wait, the finale's up on Nebula?

50:47

That would mean that we could watch it right now

50:48

if we went to nebula.tv/jetlag.

50:50

Right now, right now.

50:51

But surely such a good deal couldn't be discounted.

50:54

No, no, no, it's 40% off,

50:55

but only if you use our link.

50:56

Only if you use our link?

50:57

You can watch it? Do it at nebula.tv/jetlag.

50:59

But we're about to get on a plane!

51:01

Certainly, I couldn't download it.

51:02

No, you could download it.

51:03

You can download it and watch videos offline on Nebula?

51:06

Right now.

51:07

This is the best deal I've ever heard of

51:08

in my whole life. Wait, wait, wait.

51:09

What would I watch on Nebula?

51:10

Jet Lag: the finale. The finale?

51:12

The finale. Is it up?

51:13

Yes, but only if you go to nebula.tv/jetlag

51:16

to get 40% off and sign up right now.

51:19

Good bye.

51:20

Good bye!
