From what i've heard so far, he's dead as of last year. So maybe this year's problem is the flashback question where he doesn't make it?

My favourite is definitely 2009 with the tribes lowering the statue into acid.
They had all this shit that you had to find about the acid and the cone and NOTHING about our hero Tasmania Jones. I was getting really annoyed that my hero has not been mentioned yet as I do each part. Then finally at part e, the epic statement that literally had me on the edge of my seat.

Tasmania Jones will try to save the statue.

What a climax! Our hero saves the day again!

did anyone else spend their last minute of the exam trying to pronounce the name of the river he was running around?

My wonder was, why didn't he just get a motorbike/car? Much easier. Or move closer...

It's in the south american jugle, he can't have a car or a bike, and if he could he wouldn't so that he doesn't destroy the jungle. He doesn't stay at the camp in case they turn on he, he's far enough away to be safe, but close enough to save them if something goes wrong.

EDIT: Another point, why is there a desalination plant in the middle of the jungle? The water should be pure enough.

A tribe that has a desalination plant is not a tribe, it is a civillisation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whoever writes these exams must be a fan of Indiana Jones and states of Australia.
I bet when they write the exam they sit there laughing their head off, because ya' know, there so hardcore-adventure like that

My hero disappointed me.

Seriously? 2km/h? If you put that walking speed into Metlink Melbourne it says it'll take 22 minutes to walk from Flinders to Melbourne Central.

And how slow does he swim?!?!

In 2007 he was so fast that he was able to recover the lost Zambeji diamond before he died to insects.
In 2008 he found gold in the jungle and ran back to his camp in time to get the antidote after being bitten by a snake.

In 2011...he builds a desalination plant...and runs at 2km/h
I'm sorry Tasmania but your times of glory are over.
