Expedition #1050

Three legs, 11 questions, 14 countries of Asia: that is expedition #1050, flown at the Easy level. First Name the country (4 questions), then Bigger or smaller (3 questions), and to finish Flags (4 questions).

• In the naming leg 4 countries light up on the map and you choose each name from four.
• The size leg mixes 3 duels on people and on land.
• The flags leg alternates between naming a flag and picking one: 4 questions and 10 different flags.

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 52,730 km long, with 13 hops between 14 stops.

Tips from the window seat

• Name the country: Look at the coastline first: which sea a country touches rules out half the options.
• 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.
