Expedition #1056

Expedition #1056 stays in Asia at the Medium level: three legs, 14 questions and 17 different countries along the way. It opens with Find the country (6 questions), carries on with Bigger or smaller (3 questions) and lands with Capitals (5 questions).

• 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 area duels: which of two countries is larger?
• The capitals leg turns things round: 5 capitals, and you name the country of each.

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 68,460 km long, with 16 hops between 17 stops.

Tips from the window seat

• 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.
• Capitals: If two cities sound right, think of which country each one belongs to.
