Expedition #1046

Three legs, 14 questions, 15 countries of North and Central America: that is expedition #1046, flown at the Easy level. First Name the country (5 questions), then Find the country (6 questions), and to finish Bigger or smaller (3 questions).

• In the naming leg 5 countries light up on the map and you choose each name from four.
• In the map leg you tap 6 countries; a miss shows the right one and how far away you were.
• The size leg is 3 population duels: which of two countries has more people?

The Easy setting keeps to well-known countries; the wrong answers come from other subregions and are rarely close.

The full route, drawn from capital to capital as the questions come, measures 26,460 km: 14 hops in all.

Tips from the window seat

• Name the country: Count the neighbours you recognise around the yellow shape.
• 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.
