At the Spanish Synagogue, Brian & Ericka would receive their clue for their Speed Bump. Brian & Ericka must travel to M1 Lounge, where they would have to successfully prepare a traditional shot of absinthe. They must both drink the shot of absinthe before they are allowed to continue.
Teams must make their way to the Ekotechnické Museum, where they would find their next clue.
"In order to attain the impossible, one must attempt the absurd."
The team member assigned to perform this Roadblock must enter the museum and search among several hundred ringing telephones for the five that would have a person on the other end of the line. A voice from each phone would give the team member one letter to the word "FRANZ", a reference to Franz Kafka, which they must memorize as they would not be allowed to write anything down before entering the supervisor's office. After obtaining all five letters, they must enter the supervisor's office and fill out a form with several biographical questions, then attempt to unscramble the five letters to form his name. If they are correct, the supervisor would hand them their next clue. If they are incorrect, they would have to fill out the form again before being allowed to make another attempt to unscramble the letters.
The Roadblock performers per team are underlined:
