The three race puzzles were a logic puzzle, a word scramble and a tough quiz.

Race part 2:Logic Puzzle
|
|
Here is a logic puzzle, there are 5 bouquets, each containing 6 flowers. All you need to do is use the clues below to determine which flowers are in bouquets #1 thru #5.
This is an individual challenge and you cannot ask your tribemates for help.
There is no time limit to solve this, but your tribemates cannot score any points and only the runners can take their challenge until you have finished this puzzle.
For each flower in the proper bouquet that is one flower (or chance for a point) at the end of the challenge. If you lose flowers now, that is less questions for one of your tribemates to answer later on in the challenge.
