Moat CrossingBefore each team was an abandoned fishing net, and beside it was an old vine. On Kirk's signal, the first player from each team swung out to the net and climbed over to jump and swim to the other side. Then, their partner would get the vine after jumping in and cross the same way.
Steps of KnowledgeOne of the most dedicated leaders of Medieval Scotland was Robert the Bruce, who led the fight for independence from England. In 1306, he was crowned King of Scotland, but the British invaded and drove him from the throne. Twice, he tried to fight his way back, and twice, he failed. Forced to disband his troops, he fled to Ireland, where he hid alone in a pitiful peasant hut, trying to figure out what to do next.
Just then, Robert noticed a spider building its web in the corner of the hut. Twice, it tried to weave its web over the timber, and twice, it fell. "Okay, he tried twice, just like me; if he makes it on the third try, I'm gonna gather my armies and give it another shot." Sure enough, the spider dragged itself up again, and this time, the web held. Inspired, Robert ran from the hut, jumped on his horse, and summoned his armies. Within weeks, they invaded Scotland and drove the Englishmen out. Legend has it the grateful Robert had built a golden web for the spider.
Temple GamesThe Green Monkeys are Christine, who does cheerleading and wants to be a teacher, and Jeremy, who plays soccer and enjoys writing. The Silver Snakes are Carolina, who plays soccer and wants to be an animator, and Justin, who plays football and wants to be an architect. Robert the Bruce's Castle (Trampoline-Net Maze)[]  Jeremy is foolishly taking a shortcut (which counts as cheating) to the goal in the boys' temple game. Colored Spiders (Cubbyhole Web)[]The other job spiders have within the animal kingdom is to limit the insect population; before Christine and Carolina was a large spider web, with the six highest cubbyholes each containing a differently colored spider (purple, blue, red, yellow, green and orange). When Kirk gave the signal, each girl had to climb the web and find a colored spider in the cubbyholes at the top and placing them on the matching colored spots at the bottom; whoever got all 6 spiders onto their spots within 60 seconds would win. Christine won 5-4, tying the score with a half Pendant apiece. Escape Scotland (Big "E" Wall)[]When the British drove Robert the Bruce from the throne, he had to escape Scotland. The teams were linked together atop the maze, and had to escape Scotland; when Kirk gave the signal, they would maneuver the chain along the slot until they both could pass through, and whoever escaped first within 60 seconds would win. The Green Monkeys won with 19 seconds remaining, awarding them 1½ pendants to the Silver Snakes' half Pendant.
Temple RunChristine went into the temple first, moving at a fast pace. She starts off by heading off into The Ledges (a rare occasion in Season 3) and climbing up into The Crypt instead of trying to open any of the doors in order to get into The Pit of the Pendulum. Once up, Christine manages to unlock the door to The Pit of the Pendulum after pulling on one of the books. However, she didn't notice that the door was open and proceeded to pull on the other books. Luckily, it didn't take long for Christine to see that the door was opened, and she quickly heads down to The Pit of the Pendulum.  The other half of Jeremy's pendant can be seen hanging on the wall beside the King's Storeroom door.  
  While the team could have made more progress by having Jeremy enter directly into The Crypt, they would still have had to pass through nine rooms before the artifacts, as the Shrine-Bog door opened, but not the Shrine-Forest one. Furthermore, the team, entering with one and a half pendants, was essentially required to nab the hidden half pendant on the left of the Pit-Storeroom passage doorway because the three Temple Guards were inevitable. The team itself was above-average in terms of speed, but unfortunately, that was not enough to let them succeed here.
