And the answer is Thomson Plaza (highlight to reveal)
This one is very much like the clock clue. It is a protractor clue. Instead of clock timing, you use the numbers as degrees projecting from the mid point of the line at the bottom. Pretty straight forward isn't it?

Clue E6
Clue E6 (Code word: Healthy)
Flavor Text: At this open space that is known as a car park, I want to make a prediction.
I predict that there will be a food shortage in the world. It’s the whole Malthus theory – that the world’s population will keep growing until the all world’s food output will not be able to sustain all the living things. Even before that day comes, we will need to look for alternative sources of food to sustain us. Let’s face it, we need energy to move, we need protein to repair our worn out cells and we need vitamins and minerals to keep us healthy. Treasure your food. Finish every morsel while you still have them. Or finish this quest well, and I promise to spare no effort in joining the research for new food sources. You’re almost there. Here’s your final clue.

Code word E7: Fellow

Answer E5
And the answer is point . This answer has no meaning other than that you need it to be given the next location.
The original intention for this leg of the game is to do a Scrabble clue. But I couldn't get a scrabble set in time to design a clue for it. As the name suggest, you could use words and scores (which gives you numbers) to design one. Try to do a clue of your own! Another aside is that besides Scrabble clue, another popular choice for word clues is to do a Boggle clue.
With no time, I used a game from another THE GAME. In this minesweeper game, you will have to solve the game. After solving, the mines form the letters of the word you want. If you are a computing expert, designing this game should be a breeze. Else, a handmade version should not be a problem.

Answer E4
The answer is LPPC Office Lounge (highlight to reveal)
The solution is to find the center of the paper. Using the center as the reference and all the numbers as a 24hrs time (e.g. 1000 is 10am), extend the line from the center like a hour hand, and you will reach the letter you want.

Clue E4
Clue E4 (Code word: Crazy)
Flavor Text: Mr Sun Yat Sen was a great man and his memorial hall is certainly special. If the colour of your hair is an indication of your age, then I probably look much older than I actually am. I have a lot of white hair you know. I’m graying before my time. They tell me that I’m lacking some elements in my body and caused the premature graying. Something about vitamin B-12 deficiency. If you are young, remember to eat enough foods that contain B-12 that you need so that you won’t be gray before your time. Stuff such as mollusks, clam, liver, beef and trout are rich in B-12 and are good for your hair. Why am I telling you this? Oh, purely for aesthetic reasons. Who doesn’t want more young, virulent-looking people in this world. Anyway, you will know how to find me, I’m the one with all the white hair. Here’s the next clue so that you can continue on your way.

Answer E3
The answer is Vowels (highlight to reveal)
The web represents A.
The march represents O.
The walk on a single petal is a U (shape).
The bridge is an I.
And the spiral walk is an E.
I think all teams solved this easily. I guess you have to be there.
The purpose of this leg of the race is to hide a secret sequence that would be used in another leg of the race for another route. I will share about this when we come to it.

Group 2: Levi, Pantie, Widens, Boo, Sit, Bull’s eye, Bow,

This leg of the race is a charades game.
See if you can see what the answers were. The first 3 youtube clip is 4 about unrelated words. Look at the final clip for all the words. It should be a total of 20 words.

Answer E1
Clue E1:
This is actually one of the oldest trick in the book in riddles, which I will have giving out in games like this as a freebie since it is so easy. So I will put in a line like "tallest of the elves" if I want the letter L.
But this year I added a twist that almost killed me. I created a chain such that the 1st something of the 2nd something of the 3rd something and so on are all interlinked. So I have have to constantly think of adjectives that can be a solution object and yet another adjective. That I finally formed this string of words is a miracle.
Final twist to the puzzle: The first part "The tallest" is not part of the string. It means the the tallest of the "rest of the string", hence referring to the Tower. And that is what determined the usage of this coding of this leg of the race. :)
The tallest of the last of the first of the plus of the roundest of the closest duo of the downward of the sunken of the plentiful of the capital of the right of the week.
And the Answer is The Tower at Toa Payoh Park (highlight to reveal answer)
