At the Large Chemistry Auditorium No. 1, James & Abba would receive their clue for their Speed Bump. James & Abba have to help a Russian Orthodox priest to get to his church via limousine, before they are allowed to continue.
The team member assigned to perform the Roadblock would be shown a brief slideshow, showing a sample time in Moscow, a map of Russia's nine different time zones with their UTC offsets and Moscow's location highlighted. Then they are shown multiple instances of the same time zone map without the UTC offsets but with several other Russian cities highlighted. After the show, they have to fill in the corresponding local time for any five cities within an allotted time period. If they complete it in time and are correct, teams will receive their next clue from the professor. If they are wrong or run out of time, they have to watch the presentation and do the quiz again.
