Expedition #1077

This trip through Asia is set at Hard. The 12 questions come in three legs — Flags (5 questions), then Bigger or smaller (3 questions), then Find the country (4 questions) — and visit 15 countries in all.

• The flags leg alternates between naming a flag and picking one: 5 questions and 10 different flags.
• The size leg is 3 population duels: which of two countries has more people?
• 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 58,780 km long, with 14 hops between 15 stops.

Tips from the window seat

• Flags: Read each flag from the pole side; order matters.
• Bigger or smaller: For population, think of the big cities you know in each country.
• Find the country: Read the distance after a miss: it tells you how close you were.
