Expedition #1078

Three legs, 15 questions, 15 countries of Africa: that is expedition #1078, flown at the Hard level. First Flags (4 questions), then Name the country (5 questions), and to finish Find the country (6 questions).

• The flags leg shows 4 flags and asks for their countries; 4 different flags pass in front of you.
• In the naming leg 5 countries light up on the map and you choose each name from four.
• In the map leg you tap 6 countries; a miss shows the right one and how far away you were.

At the Hard level the obvious countries are left out and the wrong options are close neighbours of the right one, or, for flags, the closest look-alikes.

Capital to capital, in question order, the route covers 51,240 km over 14 hops.

Tips from the window seat

• Flags: Look for the small details: a star, a crescent, an emblem.
• Name the country: Count the neighbours you recognise around the yellow shape.
• Find the country: Before tapping, find a neighbour you are sure of and work from there.
