Stage description

Which is the fastest route?

Recommended device

Desktop computer or laptop.

Details

Being able to pick the fastest route is an important skill in orienteering!

We’ve found some interesting routechoice legs from previous competitions, and you need to decide which is the fastest route (based on the fastest times in real life). For each leg, there are 3 or 4 routes, labelled A, B, C, D. Choose the one that you think is the fastest, as quickly as you can! Sometimes there is more than one correct route.

Scoring

If you choose the correct route within 5 seconds, you get 100 points. For every additional 5 seconds, you lose 5 points.
If you choose the wrong route within 5 seconds, you get 50 points. For every additional 5 seconds, you lose 5 points.

Seconds to decide	Correct route – points	Wrong route – points
0-5	100	50
5-10	95	45
10-15	90	40
and so on until 0 points

There is a beep in the game every 5 seconds.

The stage is ranked by:

firstly, how many points you get
then, how long you take
