My Country Doesn't Have a President, And You Expect Me Name to 50?

***My Country Doesn't Have a President, And You Expect Me Name to 50?*** is the season premiere of *The Amazing Race 2*.

## Story

The 12 teams of 2 moved into the TARDIS ready to start the race, eager and excited. Teams began discussing which countries they wanted to travel to, only to find out that they were staying primarily in North America. The race began in Virginia, and some teams immediately realized that internal conflict would be their biggest problem. At the Roadblock, many teams became flustered by the math puzzle but TJ and Michael found it to be enjoyable. The following day, at the National Mall many teams began to develop a frustration and annoyance with the task, not knowing the United States Presidents, especially Oscar. At the Pit Stop, many teams celebrated their first leg but time penalties had a major impact on the elimination. A twist that could saved the last place team is presented to the winners of the leg.

 Upon arrival to the office lobby, teams encountered the Yield. None of the teams opted to use the Yield.

 *Who has an affinity for numbers?*
The team member assigned to complete this task must open a safe by solving a math puzzle. In this puzzle, the numbers 1 through 6 can only be used and no number may appear in a column or row more than once. Once all the numbers are in the correct place and given equations on the problem are correctly solved, the safe will open giving teams a tag with their departure time for the next morning. Teams will depart at either 8:10, 8:20, 8:30, 8:40, 8:50, or 9:00.
