Hmm, so far they've been rolling natural 20s. When's the streak of snake-eye's going to happen?

Nope, they've been Taking 20 with all the prep work.

Except Taking 20 means:

To assume that a character makes sufficient retries to obtain the maximum possible check result (as if a 20 were rolled on d20). Taking 20 takes as much time as making twenty separate skill checks (usually at least 2 minutes). Taking 20 assumes that the character fails many times before succeeding, and thus can't be used if failure carries negative consequences.

So since failure would have been bad, the most they could have done was Take 10.
