Line 29:
** Think about it: you have to grab three parts around the room (large enough parts you can only take one at a time), force them into a base, and then slam the head down hard enough to set off the trigger (some players had to do this several times to get the thing to click). While you're under a rather tight time limit. And you're thirteen or less. And have to make the statue face the camera.
*** Even worse when the kid drops part of the Monkey. They lose time while some stagehand-er, ''temple spirit'' picks it up and tries to throw it back at them.
*** The best is when the kid [[Artistic License: Biology|Fails Biology Forever]] and tries to put the head down before the torso. It happened often enough to be mentioned.
** Acknowledged on [[Teen Nick]]'s "The '90's are All That" block, where one of the pre-commercial bumpers is a contestant trying to put together the Silver Monkey, with the message "This might take a minute."
** There's a Facebook group called [http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2204884140&ref=search&sid=746242139.4153679361..1 "I HATE When Kids Suck at Putting Together the Shrine of the Silver Monkey"].
* [[That One Level|That One Room]]: It seems like the producers built the Temple and tested it with adults, as a lot of things were out of reach for kids.
** The Shrine of the Silver Monkey, full stop. Practically ''nobody'' who entered that room could figure out how to put the damn monkey together, making you wonder if the designers ''[[Magnificent Bastard|deliberately]]'' made it the only room to last the entire run. The pieces were also put in different parts of the room.
** In Season 3, the Jester's Court could also qualify, since some kids just couldn't contort their bodies in the way required to hit all the buttons they needed at once. It also didn't help for short kids, too.
** The Room of the Secret Password. In theory, it's simple: open cupboard, pick up tablet, read password. However, what made it bad was that 1) The cupboards were overhead of most kids and 2) the contestants had to wear mouth guards in the temple, so it killed time either way (either waste time taking the mouth guard out and in again, or waste time by repeating yourself when they couldn't hear you the first time).
