"Today we're going to New Zealand," Anakin said, "even though I haven't figured out where Old Zealand is just yet."

He pointed to the map. "New Zealand is located down here, near Australia where not everything will kill you, but not from lack of trying."

Detour: Matter of Time or Matter of Skill

[sith_happened]

In Matter of Time, you had to drive to the Kiwi Orchard Farm and use your feet to crush a vat of kiwifruit to produce 12 US quarts (11,000 ml) of juice. Then you have to drink a glass of juice to receive their next clue.

In Matter of Skill, teams had to drive to Blokart Heaven, assemble a Blokart, and complete three laps around a track without tipping over or crashing. Once all laps were completed, the track official would give them their next clue.

Yeah, Merrill absolutely used magic to squeeze the juice faster, because she found the sensation of mashed kiwi between her toes unsettling. Hush.

Crushing fruit was... kind of relaxing and kind of gross, all at the same time. Khadgar had his robes up out of the way so he couldn't move that quickly

Who couldn't squish fruit? She didn't gain any time during this activity, but she didn't lose any either.

Ahsoka did the building and driving one. Not only was she good at those things, there was a high likelihood of someone pouting if no one in the class chose it.

Squishing fruit into juice? Hyacinthe had done this plenty of time back home! There was a great festival in the City of Elua every year in celebration of wine. And yes, he absolutely practiced the haka he'd watched while he crushed the fruit.
