Expedition #1021

This trip through South America is set at Medium. The 9 questions come in three legs — Capitals (4 questions), then Find the country (3 questions), then Bigger or smaller (2 questions) — and visit 11 countries in all.

• The capitals leg asks for the capital of 4 countries.
• In the map leg you tap 3 countries; a miss shows the right one and how far away you were.
• The size leg is 2 population duels: which of two countries has more people?

At the Medium level most of the region is in play and the wrong options are fellow countries of the same continent.

Capital to capital, in question order, the route covers 19,460 km over 10 hops.

Tips from the window seat

• 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.
• Bigger or smaller: Do not trust the map for area: flat maps distort sizes.
