That enhanced your chances of actually completing the run. The pendants weren’t just markers for going in to the Temple, they were also used inside of it to ward off the temple guards. The Orange Iguanas and Green Monkeys definitely over performed, but not nearly as much as the Purple Parrots under performed. If we think of getting to the end as the ultimate accomplishment in the team-vs.-team part of the show, we would have expected each team to get here 20 times, which is not that far off. That Purple Parrot performance stands out as the most significant number of the day, as it is easily the performance with the greatest standard deviation thus far, at almost two below the mean. 500, which we would expect, and the Orange Iguanas’ challenge success perfectly correlated with their overall round 3 success. Four of the teams are basically right at. What the here happened to the Purple Parrots in this round? We already saw they had the worst winning percentage for the challenges themselves, but that’s still a much worse record than they should probably have. Two of the most successful teams from the first round, the Red Jaguars and Silver Snakes, are barely outside of one standard deviation below the mean. We would expect every single team to have a 500 record, but only the Blue Barracudas are at that number. Whoa! There does not seem to be any correlation between the success at The Moat, primarily a physical challenge, with the Steps of Knowledge, which required the impressive skill set of “listening and repeating those things back two minutes later.” Records for each team in wins-losses (winning percentage): According to her, anything under two standard deviations should not be considered significant here, so while we definitely know which teams are off to a good start in this evaluation, no performances stand out as particularly egregious or impressive. Now this might stun you but I’m not a statistician, so I had everything reviewed by a math teacher that actually teaches statistics to check these numbers and give them some perspective. If we look at the standard deviation though, only the Red Jaguars are more than one standard deviation outside the mean (average), while the Purple Parrots and Orange Iguanas are both more than one standard deviation below it. No no team was as good as the Orange Iguanas were bad. Here’s the breakdown for Moat wins (again, thank you to the fine folks at Nikipedia for doing the Lord’s work and having all of these numbers available for humanity): But that’s actually a great premise for a movie.) (Unless some producer with a gambling problem was taking side action on the proceedings and therefore giving the stronger children certain colors, but we can’t account for that so we’ll trust it was a random process. There should be no expected advantage based on the colored shirt and team name you were assigned. In 120 shows we would expect each team to make it to the second round about 80 times each. So let’s take a deeper look at the numbers for every stage of the show to see which team deserves the honor of being the greatest in Legends of the Hidden Temple’s history. Not being the goobers….err, unfortunate kids…that were instantly eliminated has to count.
Getting a chance to spend some quality time on the show has to count.
Legends of the hidden temple temple guards series#
It would be like saying that Yankees back-up catcher Charlie Silvera, who was a part of six World Series championship teams during his career, was a better player than Hall-of-Famer Ken Griffey Jr., who won zero. So while some kids made it to the temple and actually won either a vacation or a trip to Space Camp (the single most exciting phrase for kids of the 90s), you can’t judge overall team performances only by that metric. (Unless you consider answering multiple-choice questions about an easily understood story that you just heard “fun.”) Contestants only had a 50/50 shot to get to the fun stuff. The Hunger Games Cornucopia isn’t that efficient. Twelve kids invited to compete on a show, and within a minute four of them are sent packing.

The contestants could escape them by handing over a full Pendant of Life.) (You might remember this part included the temple guards that would pop out of nowhere and scare the crap out of the kids.
The last surviving team would have three minutes to enter the temple, retrieve the lost artifact, and escape with it. ROUND 4: THE TEMPLE (A.K.A. THE TEMPLE RUN)
