Three legs, 14 questions, 17 countries of Asia: that is expedition #1014, flown at the Hard level. First Bigger or smaller (3 questions), then Flags (5 questions), and to finish Capitals (6 questions).
- The size leg is 3 population duels: which of two countries has more people?
- The flags leg shows 5 flags and asks for their countries; 5 different flags pass in front of you.
- The capitals leg asks for the capital of 6 countries.
Hard skips the easiest quarter of the region and offers the nearest neighbours as wrong answers; on flags, the most similar-looking ones too.
If you joined the stops capital to capital, in the order the questions bring them, the dashed line would be 52,320 km long, with 16 hops between 17 stops.
Tips from the window seat
- Bigger or smaller: Do not trust the map for area: flat maps distort sizes.
- Flags: Look for the small details: a star, a crescent, an emblem.
- Capitals: If two cities sound right, think of which country each one belongs to.
