Expedition #1008

Expedition #1008 stays in Europe at the Medium level: three legs, 14 questions and 17 different countries along the way. It opens with Name the country (6 questions), carries on with Bigger or smaller (3 questions) and lands with Find the country (5 questions).

• In the naming leg 6 countries light up on the map and you choose each name from four.
• The size leg mixes 3 duels on people and on land.
• In the map leg you tap 5 countries; a miss shows the right one and how far away you were.

Medium draws on three quarters of the region, and the wrong options come from the same continent, so you have to know where things actually are.

If you joined the stops capital to capital, in the order the questions bring them, the dashed line would be 23,020 km long, with 16 hops between 17 stops.

Tips from the window seat

• Name the country: Look at the coastline first: which sea a country touches rules out half the options.
• Bigger or smaller: For population, think of the big cities you know in each country.
• Find the country: Read the distance after a miss: it tells you how close you were.
