Expedition #1042

Three legs, 13 questions, 16 countries of Africa: that is expedition #1042, flown at the Medium level. First Bigger or smaller (3 questions), then Name the country (6 questions), and to finish Capitals (4 questions).

• The size leg is 3 population duels: which of two countries has more people?
• In the naming leg 6 countries light up on the map and you choose each name from four.
• The capitals leg turns things round: 4 capitals, and you name the country of each.

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 40,700 km over 15 hops.

Tips from the window seat

• Bigger or smaller: For population, think of the big cities you know in each country.
• Name the country: Count the neighbours you recognise around the yellow shape.
• Capitals: Say the pair in both directions in your head after each answer.
