    A knights move takes the piece from a White square to a Black Square and vice versa. The enemy bishop was restricted to black squares only (I think at least 1 of the teams noticed this).

    In theory, it is possible to be captured but only the stupid teams would be caught, which didn't happen.

    Another famous but survivable obstacle are the notorius 'bomb rooms'. The team don't panic = the team surviving. You dawdle, you dead. Not exactly the most brain-draining of hazards.

        Speak for yourself simiano.

        That thing gave me the creeps.

          The odd 'guide the dungeoneer around the tables and items' in the French version, and the Monster Ball is no better, either.

          Nice concept, yet flawed.

              They did indeed.

              In any case, if we're to take simiano's logic to its natural conclusion, we have to assume that around 80% of the puzzles and obstacles in Knightmare were stupid. If the definition of a stupid puzzle is one that never killed off or even harmed a dungeoneer, then most of the puzzles in the history of the series were rubbish.

              I don't think anyone would agree with that, surely?

                Can we think of any good ones?

                I suggest a water cavern. Like Cliff's quest Series 3, you have to drain the water to reveal an exit by getting a certain puzzle right...

                Probably a symbol!

                  The time Oakley let the team past for seeming truthful...Not exactly on obstacle at all but an odd moment, for sure.

                          What about the one in Series 6 with the don't turn right thing in the dwarf tunnels with the storm geist blocking entrace to the Causeway.

                          Now that was stupid

                            As was the time when Gwen let that team through despite the fact the botched all her questions. Just because they had her token, I think the reserve team may not have arrived on that one!

                              I think they got one right, but she required two truths and they made a right dragons ear of the other two.

                                Yeah that was it, I thought that was a bit too unfair. Too many teams were given a second chance and then there was that team with the causeway timing... Things like that seriously lessened my enjoyment of Series 5

                                  Stupidest (intelligence wise) has to be good old Sly!! Its Beer. With No Alcohol. But It Does. Kinda. - Ingenius ideas by Barry's team, although you can kinda believe that would happen with Sly anyway! - General pathetic obstacle were Trolls. Too Slow, and if need be you could become invisible(S7)
