I watched the Season 1 Layout 9 runs on my DVR last night, and I noticed something interesting whenever the contestants entered the Treasury of Golden Orbs. I'll bet everyone's seen the contestants pick up an orb then quickly put it down and grab another one. I looked closely and I'm almost positive this is because the orbs had differently shaped bases ( I think circular, square and triangular.) I even believe the contestants were told to pick the triangular-based one. There is no way they could have have picked the right orb on the first attempt 3 episodes in a row (I'm not counting the Treasure Anne Bonny since the camera was on "Fred" and Kirk when Ron was in that room.) What does everyone else think?

I think that room was dumb.

Yeah, I was never fond of the room either.

Is that room as dumb as some of the other top-left rooms? Probably not, but worth asking.

Well, it wasn't that they had to place the correct orb, but rather that they activate the right pedestal. I always thought the holes were circular (and reused in the King's Storeroom for that matter), but I may be wrong.
