Three legs, 13 questions, 16 countries of Asia: that is expedition #1082, flown at the Easy level. First Name the country (4 questions), then Bigger or smaller (3 questions), and to finish Flags (6 questions).
- In the naming leg 4 countries light up on the map and you choose each name from four.
- The size leg mixes 3 duels on people and on land.
- The flags leg alternates between naming a flag and picking one: 6 questions and 14 different flags.
The Easy setting keeps to well-known countries; the wrong answers come from other subregions and are rarely close.
The full route, drawn from capital to capital as the questions come, measures 62,740 km: 15 hops in all.
Tips from the window seat
- Name the country: Count the neighbours you recognise around the yellow shape.
- Bigger or smaller: Do not trust the map for area: flat maps distort sizes.
- Flags: Look for the small details: a star, a crescent, an emblem.
