Expedition #1044

Expedition #1044 stays in Asia at the Hard level: three legs, 13 questions and 16 different countries along the way. It opens with Flags (6 questions), carries on with Bigger or smaller (3 questions) and lands with Find the country (4 questions).

• The flags leg alternates between naming a flag and picking one: 6 questions and 14 different flags.
• The size leg mixes 3 duels on people and on land.
• In the map leg you tap 4 countries; a miss shows the right one and how far away you were.

Hard skips the easiest quarter of the region and offers the nearest neighbours as wrong answers; on flags, the most similar-looking ones too.

If you joined the stops capital to capital, in the order the questions bring them, the dashed line would be 69,430 km long, with 15 hops between 16 stops.

Tips from the window seat

• Flags: Read each flag from the pole side; order matters.
• Bigger or smaller: For population, think of the big cities you know in each country.
• Find the country: Read the distance after a miss: it tells you how close you were.
