Expedition #1062

Three legs, 12 questions, 12 countries of Asia: that is expedition #1062, flown at the Hard level. First Name the country (4 questions), then Flags (4 questions), and to finish Find the country (4 questions).

• In the naming leg 4 countries light up on the map and you choose each name from four.
• The flags leg alternates between naming a flag and picking one: 4 questions and 10 different flags.
• 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 51,940 km long, with 11 hops between 12 stops.

Tips from the window seat

• Name the country: Look at the coastline first: which sea a country touches rules out half the options.
• Flags: Look for the small details: a star, a crescent, an emblem.
• Find the country: Read the distance after a miss: it tells you how close you were.
