TLDR's Race Across Europe - Episode 2

[@matthings4133]

I first thought that losing the passport should not be that bad... then I remembered Brexit happened xD

[@ukmaxi]

I lost my passport/had it stolen once before the EU/brexit referendum was even a thing (I.e. way before 2016). It was a major issue even then because the UK didn't have ID cards and the UK was not in Schengen. So, I had to go to the local British consulate for an emergency passport.

[@superstructure23]

UK was never part of Schengen so it doesn't really change much

[@ukmaxi]

@@superstructure23 I never said it ever was a part of Schengen. If anything that fact made my personal situation more annoying. Unless you were talking to the OP, then sorry xD.

[@cuatez2]

Even when it was an EU member, the UK was always out of the Schengen zone, so even UK citizens always needed to show a passport when leaving and entering the UK to go to the EU. Brexit didn't really make this mishap any worse.

[@markkajc]

The chance of being checked on the way to Sweden and back would be low, so they couldve just got the passport when back in DK

[@LittleGuyer]

It’s a shame that Jack losing the passport means we don’t get to watch them all sprint to the one in Sweden.

[@peterfireflylund]

There is a train straight from Copenhagen Airport to Helsingborg (where the 5 pointer is)...

[@JanRademan]

The fact that the TLDR crew was laid low due to a Brexit requirement. Priceless.

[@Thibli2]

@@cuatez2 While the UK was part of the European Union a simple means of identification such as an ID card or a driving licenses was sufficient. Passports became mandatory as a result of Brexit.

[@cuatez2]

@@Thibli2 This is not accurate. Before Brexit, you needed a valid passport to enter the EU from the UK, because the UK was not part of the Schengen zone. You also needed a passport to enter the UK from the EU. Brexit did not change this.

[@dashadowgirl]

Small detail, but i love how the border of the video shows the colour of the team you sre watching! It makes it so much easier to follow :D

[@marcellkiss-redey8451]

When is the third episode coming?

[@ReinierZwitserloot]

Looking at the points map, the right strategy seems like a slamdunk winner to me: Take the train to Lille from London (2 hours or so, 2 pointer), then pick up the one in belgium, then go to NL and grab em all (NL is densely populated and has a ton of public transport, this will be very easy), then go to Utrecht and wait around for the final destination, then get there first. This gets you 13 points (5 points for getting to the 10,000th buyer first), AND eliminates everybody's plans to pick up a few one-pointers in NL. That means some other team has to get 11 points and get to the destination second to beat you. The sweden/denmark plan is clearly not possible to make that work. I doubt Ben's team can do that either. It feels like it's "go long distance, pick up 8 to 10 points, then long distance to AMS and take it from there". Which means getting 8 points in NL/Belgium/Lille means you save a longhaul to AMS as you're already there.

[@ReinierZwitserloot]

A crucial requirement for that to work is that the address in Lille and Antwerp (? - hard to see on the map where precisely that belgian 2-pointer is) is easy to reach. But that french one is clearly in Lille, that's a eurostar stop! (NB: Go to Utrecht as it's got a billion train connections and is centrally located. Better to wait there than wait in AMS).

[@wfchannel4673]

yeah, i think my strategy would be to run around great britain, maybe stopping in ireland and/or jersey if i found easy transport then just snagging the ones in france and belgium on my way to the finish. going far and coming back doesn't seem worth it, certainly not denmark but milan and munich are slightly better. ben's team should have a fairly easy win, but there's certainly chances for slip ups or not making the finish in time.

[@Ikuu]

@@wfchannel4673 I checked this and as far as flights go Jersey is pretty shit. Maybe something like Edinburgh, Dublin, Paris, Lille which has you at 12 points and can then take everything close by.

[@wfchannel4673]

@@Ikuu yeah, it was mostly if you can get lucky with timing a ferry or something. it's a skip if you can't, but overall going for the geographically close low point stuff that's on the way still seemed better than overshooting and circling back.

[@ukmaxi]

Ben's team were so incredibly lucky here.

[@Apollorion]

I think that, due to him and his planned race route all being in the Schengen Area, Jack shouldn't worry about his passport so much.

[@DarkHarlequin]

He needs to also get back to the UK after though (which is NOT in the Shengen area) 😉

[@ElectariumTunic]

There is a risk of random ID checks at every border, even within Shengen and the Nordic Passport Union. The border control might not be there every day. But if they are unlucky, and he only brought the passport as ID, they will get caught.

[@Apollorion]

@@DarkHarlequin I know, but embassies and consulats from the UK within the Schengen Area might help out. If he knows that he can get back a passport and/or at least into the UK after the race, he can concentrate on the race. edit: P.S. this is effectively useless advise because in real life the race is already complete.

[@Apollorion]

@@ElectariumTunic That's some nice info that sounds true. edit: .. but also seems to have disappeared.😟

Waaaait if you guys already were inside Schengen, did you really need passports to just cross over to Sweden and back?

Also, the longer you wait to try to get the passport the harded it will be to retrieve. My heartsank for him. When I travel abroad I check on my passport constantly. A true fear.

[@timor64]

@@ciyrainshgaming507 In general, you don't need ANY kind of passport to cross an internal Schengen border. That is the whole point of Schengen. It doesn't matter if you yourself are from a Schengen member state or not. If he can phone the cab from the ferry terminal, he can phone from the ferry itself and ask the driver to wait at the ferry terminal on his return.

It was a very bad decision to remove the Glass-Steagall Act in the late 1990s, which led to the spectacular failure of huge banks during the financial crisis of 2007-2008. To prevent another disaster, Dodd-Frank and this statute both need to be reestablished right away. What happened with SVB is only the beginning of what will happen if nothing is done to address the current situation.

[@NY-DC-LA]

This race is quite fun to watch. BUT, if I had lost my passport, I would have been racing back to the taxi stand, rather than busily filming. I'm suspicious that episode 3 will show the passport was in another pocket.

Actually he could, because it belongs to the Schengen area, meaning you only pass through passport control when you enter the first country that belongs to this area, as they had already done. Later they could move freely within all the other countries.

So confused by almost all of this lol How do you lose a passport in a race around Europe? Why didn't the teams back out of going to certain airports to make sure they had a free corridor to certain routes that don't cost both of their teams the whole event? Sure, they can't communicate, but it's pretty obvious where teams are going based on the station they are headed to. (the Munich team is now easily going to win despite being horrible at logistics) Where is the public transport planning during flights etc? Cabs are a huge waste of time and budget in all of the locations listed Once in Copenhagen, why bother going to Sweden with points in the bag? Simply turn around, get out of there and hit every spot from Hamburg to Koln and back through the Netherlands and any team trying Sweden now has zero further spots they can hit, right? Anyway, whatever, cool concept I guess.
