Corridor of Blades
No. of teams to encounter it: 10 (Alistair, Dickon, Giles, Sarah, Duncan, Sofia, Barry, Daniel, Dunstan, Oliver - I refuse to include Simon from series 4 in this as he was aided by Gundrada)
No. of teams survived: 6 (Dickon, Giles, Sofia, Barry, Dunstan, Oliver)
No. of teams killed: 4 (Alistair, Sarah, Duncan, Daniel)
Okay, so, 40% of its appearances have resulted in the end to a quest, while 60% have seen it traversed successfully.
Now onto the hexagonal causeways.
No. of total appearances: 31 (okay, I'm including the two appearances of the Great Causeway and, on a more debatable note, the only appearance of the Shapes and Numerals puzzle, which is effectively season five's level three causeway).
Times survived: 25
Times teams have died: 6 (Kathryn - Level 2, Jenna - Level 1, Alex - Level 2, Matt - Level 2, Alan - Level 3, Sofia - Great Causeway (Level 3))
As a percentage then, 81% of attempts have proved successful, while 19% have produced kills.
So, um, yeah, the corridor of blades has a higher kill ratio overall. But 40% is lower than I might've expected...
Mind, interestingly, the corridor of blades made only three appearances in total in both seasons five and six. In season five, it has a 100% kill ratio. The causeways, however, manage only 21%.
Anyway, resume the interesting part of the discussion now! Boring interlude over...
(Think I need to get out more...)
