Three legs, 13 questions, 16 countries of North and Central America: that is expedition #1074, flown at the Medium level. First Bigger or smaller (3 questions), then Capitals (5 questions), and to finish Flags (5 questions).
- The size leg mixes 3 duels on people and on land.
- The capitals leg asks for the capital of 5 countries.
- The flags leg names 5 countries and gives you four flags each time, 16 different flags in all.
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 34,020 km long, with 15 hops between 16 stops.
Tips from the window seat
- Bigger or smaller: Do not trust the map for area: flat maps distort sizes.
- Capitals: Capitals that are not the largest city are the classic trap.
- Flags: Plain tricolours are the hardest; check the colour of the middle band.
