Expedition #1020

Expedition #1020 stays in Africa at the Easy level: three legs, 13 questions and 16 different countries along the way. It opens with Find the country (5 questions), carries on with Capitals (5 questions) and lands with Bigger or smaller (3 questions).

• In the map leg you tap 5 countries; a miss shows the right one and how far away you were.
• The capitals leg asks for the capital of 5 countries.
• The size leg is 3 area duels: which of two countries is larger?

Easy means the questions come from the best-known countries of the region, and wrong options from other parts of the world, so most of them can be ruled out at a glance.

If you joined the stops capital to capital, in the order the questions bring them, the dashed line would be 50,560 km long, with 15 hops between 16 stops.

Tips from the window seat

• Find the country: Before tapping, find a neighbour you are sure of and work from there.
• Capitals: Capitals that are not the largest city are the classic trap.
• Bigger or smaller: Near-ties are common on Hard; the figures appear after each answer.
