Expedition #1041

This trip through Asia is set at Medium. The 15 questions come in three legs — Name the country (6 questions), then Flags (5 questions), then Find the country (4 questions) — and visit 15 countries in all.

• In the naming leg 6 countries light up on the map and you choose each name from four.
• The flags leg shows 5 flags and asks for their countries; 5 different flags pass in front of you.
• In the map leg you tap 4 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 69,960 km long, with 14 hops between 15 stops.

Tips from the window seat

• Name the country: Look at the coastline first: which sea a country touches rules out half the options.
• Flags: Look for the small details: a star, a crescent, an emblem.
• Find the country: Read the distance after a miss: it tells you how close you were.
