A Detour is a choice between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons. In this Detour, teams will engage themselves into two different things where Trinity College students excel. Their choice, Choreographic Satisfaction or Scientific Concentration.

In Choreographic Satisfaction, teams have to find The Dance Society club and choose a pair of dancers to teach them how to dance Latin and must learn a routine. When they think they have mastered the routine, they must perform it in front of the club's coach and have to get his satisfaction to receive their next clue. This task needs cooperation, but teams with two left feet will stomp their head to death.

Trait: Skill



To do this task, post *Find The Dance Society Club (5 minutes)*



In Scientific Concentration, teams have to find a marked room and they must answer five applications about Gas Laws using Boyle's Law. If all of their answers are correct, they will receive their next clue. This task seems so simple, but teams with difficulties with numbers and formulas, will find themselves in the middle of a terrible mentality.

Trait: Logic



To do this task, post *Search for the marked room (8 minutes)*


WARNING: DOUBLE U-TURN AHEAD!
