John Henry's Lost Hammer
Six teams: the Purple Parrots, the Red Jaguars, the Silver Snakes, the Green Monkeys, the Blue Barracudas, and the Orange Iguanas face off in a physical and mental showdown to retrieve an ancient artifact from folklore. Only one team will earn the right to enter Olmec's temple to retrieve it. It is now time for Olmec to tell us about the legend of John Henry's Hammer. Pay attention, because your knowledge of the legend can bring you one step closer to the temple...

"The men who drove the spikes and laid the rails for the Great American Railroad were called Gandy Dancers. And the biggest and strongest of them all was John Henry. One day the railroad foreman came up to him with a stranger and said, 'John Henry, Mr. Jones here says his steam engine can out drill even my best man, and I aim to find out. I'm gonna put you up ahead in a tunnel there, with you on one side and the steam drill on the other. We'll see who drives further.' John Henry slung his hammer over his shoulder. 'That'll be me,' he said, and followed the foreman up the line. John Henry took his position. 'Go,' shouted the foreman, and John Henry started swinging with all his might. The steam drill chugged and drilled, and when the smoke cleared John Henry had driven 15 feet through the rock. And the steam drill had only gone nine. The other Gandy dancers cheered, and lifted John Henry on their shoulders. The railroad retired John Henry's hammer, and it found its way to the temple. Your quest is to retrieve his hammer and bring it here..."

"Having already sailed three-quarters of the way around the world, the great Spanish explorer Ferdinand Magellan was writing in his secret log when the cabin boy knocked. 'You're needed on the deck captain,' he said. The men were already assembled. 'Captain,' said the first mate, 'we want to return to Spain. It has been three and a half months since we last saw land. We have no fresh water, and we have been eating rats, leather, and even sawdust to survive.' Magellan placed one hand on his pistol and the other on his sword. 'Return to your posts,' he said, 'or I'll have you thrown in the brig for mutiny.' Suddenly, the lookout shouted 'Land! Land ho!' Overjoyed, everyone ran to the rail of the ship and saw the Philippine Islands in the distance. Unfortunately, while on the islands Magellan was killed, and the men had to finish the last leg of the journey themselves. Legend has it, the first mate stole Magellan's logbook and it ended up in the temple. Your quest is to retrieve the lost logbook of Magellan and bring it back here..."

"The first woman to fly across the Atlantic, and the first to fly from Hawaii to California was also the most famous woman pilot in history. She was Amelia Earhart. Everyone followed her adventures as she tried to fly all the way around the world. By the time she got to New Guinea in the Pacific, she had been through some rough storms and close calls. JoJo, her New Guinea fueler, was loading up her baggage and gassing up her engines for the last leg of her journey. He wanted Amelia to be safe on her trip, so he carved her a statue of a pot-bellied pig. I'm sorry JoJo, I simply can't take this,' Amelia said. She handed it back apologetically to JoJo. The sun was shining and all was well, but hours later she disappeared over the Pacific, never to be heard from again. Some say she was captured by the Japanese. Some say she ran out of gas. But JoJo knew it was because she left behind the lucky pot-bellied pig. Your quest is to find it, and bring it back here..."

"Long ago there lived a great warrior chief of the Zulu nation. His name was Shaka Zulu. When he was little, he and his mother were banished from their tribe, and for many years they wandered in the African bush living off bugs and plants. Finally, they were taken in by another Zulu tribe called the Mthethwas. But Shaka never forgot how his old tribe had treated him and his mother. When he was 30, the chief of the Mthethwas put Shaka in charge of a large Zulu tribe of his own. He developed new war tactics, and created a Zulu army with regiments and commanders. He also put distinguishing markings on the warriors' shields so you could tell them apart. When Shaka became chief of all the Zulus, he conquered almost all of the other tribes in the southern plains of Africa, including the tribe that had been so cruel to him as a child. Legend has it, that many years later a trader stumbled upon Shaka's secret grave and stole his burial mask. Your quest is to retrieve that mask, and bring it here..."

"Deep in the Sherwood Forest, a famous outlaw lived with his band of merry men. His name was Robin Hood. Some say they were merry men because they didn't work.
