Expedition #1058

Three legs, 9 questions, 11 countries of South America: that is expedition #1058, flown at the Medium level. First Flags (4 questions), then Bigger or smaller (2 questions), and to finish Name the country (3 questions).

• The flags leg names 4 countries and gives you four flags each time, 9 different flags in all.
• The size leg is 2 area duels: which of two countries is larger?
• In the naming leg 3 countries light up on the map and you choose each name from four.

The Medium setting widens the pool and keeps the wrong answers on the same continent: neighbours are not far away.

The full route, drawn from capital to capital as the questions come, measures 24,550 km: 10 hops in all.

Tips from the window seat

• Flags: Plain tricolours are the hardest; check the colour of the middle band.
• Bigger or smaller: Do not trust the map for area: flat maps distort sizes.
• Name the country: If the close view confuses you, zoom out once and look at the whole region.
