Expedition #1026

Three legs, 13 questions, 13 countries of North and Central America: that is expedition #1026, flown at the Easy level. First Find the country (5 questions), then Bigger or smaller (3 questions), and to finish Flags (5 questions).

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

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 24,310 km long, with 12 hops between 13 stops.

Tips from the window seat

• Find the country: Before tapping, find a neighbour you are sure of and work from there.
• Bigger or smaller: For population, think of the big cities you know in each country.
• Flags: Plain tricolours are the hardest; check the colour of the middle band.
