[20:25 - 20:31] The speaker discusses a divergence with two options, east or west.


[20:37 - 20:44]The east side has two options, one faster but involves knitting and cheese-making, and one slower but involves zorbing and a hot spring.


[20:44 - 20:52]The west side is faster but involves a difficult challenge called milk pong.


[21:04 - 21:12]Teams must decide how much risk they are willing to take.

[24:56 - 25:03]They pass another team who went to zorb.


[27:18 - 27:28]They quickly complete the zorb challenge and move on to making cheese at a designated spot in Hamilton.


[27:41 - 27:46]They have trouble finding cheese but eventually make a marble's worth of homemade cottage cheese.


[29:37 - 29:48]Their next challenge is to eat cheese at a hot spring and say they are glad they are not making cheese.


[29:37 - 29:48]They have some trouble finding the hot spring and briefly discuss their difficulties.


[20:25 - 30:12]The speaker discusses a divergence with two options, east or west, and ultimately chooses to go east, completing a zorb challenge and making cheese at designated spots in Hamilton.
