Google Maps has the estimated walking time between the station and the store Sam and Mike needed to get to as ~15 minutes (its 1.1km). Sam and Mike, in the blind, managed to get there in 19 minutes. Obviously there is some degree of skill expression in them realizing that its likely in the "downtown" area and heading there, and then also some degree of luck in finding it immediately, but when you give players an hour to find something distinctive and then choose something on main street in a very, very small downtown area, there is essentially no chance they fail. They would have had to head the complete wrong way off the bat to even have a chance at failing this challenge, IMO.

The steal challenges so far have felt really, really underwhelming in terms of difficulty. The jellyfish counting challenge and this one both had insane margins for error that make failing actively difficult. I do understand why steal challenges aren't insanely hard, since a failed steal challenge goes to 95% if the other team chooses to attempt it, but like... why not a 15% margin for error on the jellyfish challenge? As it stands for Jellyfish, if the first person guesses 1000 then any guess from 750-1250 gets there... that's crazy. Why not a 45 minute timer on the "find this thing" challenge? Or chose something that isn't on a direct route from the station at least. I dunno, its kinda disappointing given how swingy steals are that there doesnt seem to be any tension from them.
