Expedition #1011

On expedition #1011 you cross North and Central America at the Medium level. The route has 15 stops spread over 12 questions in three legs: Bigger or smaller (3 questions), Capitals (4 questions) and finally Find the country (5 questions).

• The size leg is 3 area duels: which of two countries is larger?
• The capitals leg alternates: 4 questions, country to capital and back again.
• 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 24,490 km long, with 14 hops between 15 stops.

Tips from the window seat

• Bigger or smaller: Do not trust the map for area: flat maps distort sizes.
• Capitals: Capitals that are not the largest city are the classic trap.
• Find the country: Read the distance after a miss: it tells you how close you were.
