I'm currently undergoing some superbly detailed advanced statistics, and if you know any information, I'd love any assistance.
What I'm trying to find:
- Quickest completion of the Silver Monkey
- Steps of Knowledge with the most asked questions
- Frequency of each Temple Game ("pulley pillar", "bungee soap mat", etc.)
- Quickest/slowest moat
- Most frequent half-pendant locations
Stuff like that.

I'm thinking "The Missing Eye of David" for the Steps of Knowledge one, since there was a four-way tie on the second-to-last step and at least one question was thrown out. That makes a minimum of 11 questions.
The half Pendant was almost always next to the the door leaving the pit area for the bottom room of the central shaft, IIRC. At least, it seemed like it was there the most.

I think it was the one that was 45 minutes before editing. It seems like "The Stone Head of the Evil King" and "The Imperial Purple Robe of Empress Theodora" were both about 15 to 20 minutes prior to editing.Yes, you did. Right here. (http://http://phantomsden.6.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=533)
I can swear I made a topic on this a long time ago... XD
And I think "The Cracked Crown of the Spanish King" was HANDS DOWN the longest. "The Stone Head of the Evil King" was a long most, but not as long as everyone makes us out to be. The fog didnt disappear until the 3rd team gonged in. Where as in, "Cracked Crown," the fog disappeared like when the 2nd team gonged in. For the 3rd longest moat, definately, "The Lucky Medallion of Atocha." The Green Monkeys and the Silver Snakes couldn't even get their first person across before all 4 teams finally gonged in. (And, the fog COMPLETELY disappeared just after the 3rd team gonged in). I don't remember, "The Imperial Robe of Impress Theordoras" moat very well. I think the fog disappeared right after the 4th team gonged in. We'll have to compare videos, to see how long the moat lasted after the editing.
Post by: nicklegends on July 08, 2009, 09:42:07 PM
...I'm joking, of course. I'm pretty sure The Cracked Crown of the Spanish King had the longest Moat, at 2:25 (edited). The Lucky Medallion of Atocha's was 2:04.

Yes, Ron did intentionally cheat in the moat by running across the bottom of the moat while depressing the rings to make it look like he was still on top of them.

And then he totally blows it in the run by descending the central shaft.

The Missing Eye of David featured an 11-question Steps of Knowledge. (Including being one of two episodes so far that allowed three responses to one question! Yes, it happened more than once.)
It also has the shortest moat so far, at 19 seconds.

Here is what I got so far after analyzing the first three production days of Season 1. The time for the monkey assembly starts the second a contestant touches the base.
| Episode | Player | Total Time |
| "Galileo's Cannonball" | Jammin John | 17 seconds |
| "John Sutter and the Map to the Lost Gold Mine" | Jennifer | 32 seconds |
| "The Star of Sultan Saladin" | Lea | 17 seconds |
| "The Helmet of Genghis Khan" | Taylor | 26 seconds |
| "The Trojan Horseshoe" | Shawn | 14 seconds |
| "The Pendant of Kamehameha" | Tina | 18 seconds |
Here are my observations:
- Jennifer's (Lost Gold Mine) Silver Monkey assembly time surprised me. She first grabbed the head part of the monkey, but dropped it on the ground. She then kind of struggled putting it together correctly and kept jamming the head down the right way. She has the slowest assembly so far.
- Shawn (The Trojan Horseshoe) has the fastest time so far. Even though we don't talk about his win too much, he moved at a good pace in the temple. I guess being 15 made the episode be a little easy for him?
- The first five Silver Monkey assemblies came from temple winners. :lol:
I will continue with Season 1 later. ;)

I wonder if when the layouts changed, the contestants were given a more thorough walkthrough of the temple?
I feel that the later part of Season 1 did a better job in explaining the rules and giving the contestants more background knowledge of the temple. If you notice, most of the later Season 1 teams weren't as confused by the temple as the earlier Season 1 teams. Not to say that they were better, but you could notice the difference. And the later Season 1 temple runs had better Silver Monkey assemblies IIRC. By S1L8 and S1L9, the episodes felt like the Season 2 temple almost. ;)

| "Ponce de Leon and the Lost Fountain of Youth" | James | 17 seconds |

| "The Stolen Arm of Shiva" | Evan | 27 seconds** **Never completes Silver Monkey |
| "The Helmet of Joan of Arc" | Mandy | 9 seconds** **Never completes Silver Monkey |
My observations:
- Despite getting criticism for having the slowest Silver Monkey assembly, Jessica from Lost Logbooks takes one extra second longer to complete the Silver Monkey than Jennifer from Lost Gold Mine. Jessica grabbed the first piece with 56 seconds and finishes assembling it with 23 seconds left. It would've been faster if she put the head down the right way.
- The Blue Barracudas so far have the slowest Silver Monkey assembly time. The fastest player was Jennifer from Buddha who finished with 22 seconds!
- Evan from Shiva would've definitely held the record if he had more time. He was not even close before time expired.

Considering 4/6 of the last episodes of season 1 were wins, I wouldn't be surprised. The other two...well...Chris (and Kirk Fogg, to a lesser extent), and Ron happened.
The S1L7-SL19 episodes are MUCH better than the first four layouts of Season 1. I mean look at how bad some of those early runs turned out?
- Golden Ship
- Golden Cricket Cage
- Lost Hammer
- Blackbeard
- Alhambra
- Dead Man's Hand (Due to production errors)
- Lost Logbooks
- Jean Lafitte
From S1L7 and onwards, the only real bad run in my eyes was Silver Saddle Horn. And even then, Vicky just had bad luck with choosing a route that was nothing but a detour. It sucked, but she still moved fast and I don't think she was a total lost cause. The runs above just had a horrible outcome. And look how many times the artifact was grabbed too starting with S1L7?
- Sir Edmund Hillary
- Golden Jaguar
- Shaka Zulu
- Cobra Staff
- Blue Pearl (close enough anyways)
- Lost Lariat (although should've been a win. -_-)
- :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
- Lawrence of Arabia
- Snake Bracelet
- Raccoon Collar
- Anne Bonny (see Lost Lariat -_- )
Hell, we didn't even get our first failed escape run until Sir Edmund Hillary. There was definitely a big difference between the earlier half of Season 1 and the alter half.

I never knew those games were so rare :o Was one of the episodes with the S3 maze with chambers game on the 20 episode cycle? I remember seeing that game alot.
Not the maze game used in Thornwood Gavel and Bandit Queen. In that temple game, the players had to clear a path of rubble while inside a chamber. At the end of the chamber, they had to pull their loot through. Here is the temple game I am talking about (taken from Thornwood Gavel)
(http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b210/lotht/LOTHT%20Season%203/Thornwood%20Gavel/game1.jpg)
This temple game was not part of the 20 episode cycle since neither Bandit Queen or Thornwood Gavel was part of it. You are thinking of the maze game where the players had to jump on trampolines. Similar to the one Jeremy cheated in Robert the Bruce. That temple game DID appear in the 20 episode cycle and a lot in S3. Some of the 20 episode cycle temple games included Robert the Bruce and Comet-Embroidered Battle Flag. ;)

| "The Snake Bracelet of Cleopatra" | Tracy | 18 seconds |
| "The Treasure of Anne Bonny" | Ron | 18 seconds |
My observations:
- David (Lawrence of Arabia) has the fastest Silver Monkey assembly time so far next to Shawn (Trojan Horseshoe). He would've even had a faster completion if he didn't waste 3 seconds trying to get his head on the right way. But as of right now, both Green Monkeys boys hold the fastest time. (And coincidentally, both were Green's only wins in Season 1.) :mrgreen:
- Tracy (Golden Jaguar) holds the fastest assembly time for a female player and only took one extra second longer than David and Shawn.
- Despite putting the Monkey Torso in the front of the room first, Albert (Blue Pearl) still finished the Silver Monkey with a pretty good time. That is because he went into beast mode after realizing his mistake. Imagine if he did this from the start? Then he might've had the fastest Silver Monkey time!
- David (Lawrence of Arabia) in my opinion had the best Silver Monkey assembly ever on the show. He grabbed all three pieces at once and put them together like they were nothing. Most contestants couldn't even handle two pieces at once!
I will cover Season 2 later. ;)

Wait, Jennifer from John Sutter assembled the monkey in 32 seconds? :o Or was this a typo?
Going by TMH's method, Jennifer grabbed the first Silver Monkey piece with 1:52 on the clock. That was the head part that she knocked on the ground. She didn't finish the assembly until she had 1:20 left. So it took her a total of 32 seconds from the time she grabbed the first piece. That is how TMH did it anyways. :o

Also, Steven from Silk Sash never really completed the Observatory objective. I would put a little asterisk (*) next to his name like I did with some of the Silver Monkey contestants like Mandy and Evan. ;) Stephen never had the top part aligned.

Great, now I want to do these stats. :lol: Question is, which room/stats should I do?
The Treasure Room :mrpurple:
Just kidding, I think the Jester's Court would be very interesting. I was thinking of doing that one next after the Shrine of the Silver Monkey. Even though luck was a little bit part of the room. There weren't many rooms where luck wasn't involved. The Chamber would be another interesting one. ;)
Post by: Purple Parrots Fan on June 02, 2014, 10:03:01 PM
So I would just time it from the moment the players entered the room, until the room went dark? That sounds interesting to me. Plus, the Jester's Court was only featured in the second half of Season 2 and all of Season 3 anyways. So recording stats from that room shouldn't be too hard of a task. ;)Great, now I want to do these stats. :lol: Question is, which room/stats should I do?

And you don't have to worry about temple guard interference too. If you look at Viper's list, the temple guards were some of the reasons why these contestants had longer stone column assemblies. Particularly Kristen and Janelle. Also I noticed Gracelyn had a 7 second assembly? If she moved as fast as her assembly, then she might've saved her temple run. Of course, she still passed the half-pendant.
But the Jester's Court would be very interesting. You had contestants like Quentin from Red Sash who completed the room in like 3 seconds? And then some really long ass time spent in there too. Like Irish from Bent Shaving Pan. :oops:

I want to do the King's Storeroom next, but I'm not sure how to do it, because when there were temple guards in both versions of the room, 1-2 pots were usually smashed before the guard came out and removed the player from the temple.
Post by: The Red Jaguars on June 02, 2014, 10:21:13 PM
And in Golden Stallion, CJ did put the Observatory together. I am not sure why we don't hear any sound effects in that run. Everything in that temple run is screwy. :?

Anywho, how should I go about doing the King's Storeroom?
Post by: The Red Jaguars on June 02, 2014, 10:33:53 PM
I'm not so sure that the King's Storeroom would have opened, because Silk Sash's layout basically mimicked Atilla the Hun (back to back runs) sans temple guards. And the column looked like it was correctly completed to me :?
Anywho, how should I go about doing the King's Storeroom?
I say the timer should start when the first pot is smashed. But how will it work if the frontrunner smashes a pot and is removed from the temple in that room? Like Matt from Dolley Madison smashed a pot before he was taken out in that room, and Ashlie took his place. Maybe in that run you add both Matt and Ashlie's time together?
I am going to have the same problem with the Shrine for a few runs. In runs like Lost Taj Mahal Turban and Discarded Seal, the frontrunner grabbed a Silver Monkey piece before being removed from that room. So the second runner had less stuff to assemble. I am probably going to have to add both times together. :?:

My observations:
- The Silver Monkey was not assembled until 8 episodes into Season 2. The first episode it was assembled in was the Blackfeet Chief.
- Brandon from Blackfeet Chief has the fastest Silver Monkey assembly so far. And his episode was the first time it was even touched in Season 2. :lol:
- Despite being slow as balls, Kerry assembled her Silver Monkey as Ty from Atocha. Honestly, she wasn't a clueless player. Just a really slow one. :roll:
- Joshua from Imperial Purple Robe was so close to knocked down his entire Silver Monkey!
And here is an interesting stat for you, Vper. It took Michelle from Benjamin Franklin 8 seconds to complete the King's Storeroom. :o

Here's a suggestion:
Start when the first pot is touched and if the front runner is taken out, pause it when the second runner begins their run and pick it back up when the second runner either enters the room or touches something that would indicate that they are working on finishing the objective (key, pot, etc)

I decided I'm gonna do stats for both the Jester's Court and the Chamber. And I want you to give me feedback on it. They should be coming up soon. ;)
It will be interesting to see who had the fastest Chamber completion time. IIRC, Lacey from Sforza had a pretty fast completion.
I think we all know which player will spend the longest time in that room. :P

Of course you realize I'm doing the Jester's Court first. It will be easier, since that room was completed less than the Chamber was. ;)I decided I'm gonna do stats for both the Jester's Court and the Chamber. And I want you to give me feedback on it. They should be coming up soon. ;)

Only 10 contestants completed the Jester's Court objective in Season 2. And every team except the Orange Iguanas got a chance to complete it. I timed it from the moment they entered the room, until the room went dark. I hope that's accurate enough. And coincidentally, the only two teams to not complete the Jester's Court in Season 2 were Nostradamus and Dolley Madison. Both Orange Iguana runs and filmed the same day. :lol: I'll post Season 3's results later. Thoughts? ;)

Also, I am very surprise at how fast Tarrah's time was. Like I said in the past, Tarrah made great time in the temple. It was just that she moved slow through the temple. And even then, she grabbed the Milk Bucket with 34 seconds left. This is why I can see her win the Ahmed Baba run even if she makes the same mistake as Shane.
And look at Aqila's time too. Once again, she is a player that gets way too much criticism. She handled most of her temple rooms just fine. It was the last three seconds of her run that make her look bad.

I'm interested in seeing how the King's Storeroom turns out, since it was luck based as well.
Definitely luck and speed based. So frustrating when players just take their time in that room. Like, there are large vases sitting here asking you to smash them, what are you doing?!?!

And good Lord at Aqila's time! Honestly, the temple guard encounters messed up some of the players times in certain rooms. The same thing happened in the Shrine for some runs where the temple guard takes up a few seconds while the teams assemble the Silver Monkey. Not only does it take them some time to give them the Pendant, but it also frazzles them a little bit too. I think this is what happened to Aqila in this room.
Overall, these were very informative stats like the other ones. It looks like most contestants didn't spend much time in it. At the end of the day though, this room was pretty much the luck of the draw for the contestants. Some got lucky where it worked on the first couple of guesses. Some were unfortunate like Shem where their last guess was the correct one. Luckily, Season 3 made it a little easier where they could all just knock the pots in the middle. (I still like the S2 version much better though.)
