Expedition #1085

This trip through South America is set at Easy. The 9 questions come in three legs — Flags (3 questions), then Bigger or smaller (2 questions), then Find the country (4 questions) — and visit 11 countries in all.

• The flags leg names 3 countries and gives you four flags each time, 8 different flags in all.
• The size leg is 2 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.

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 33,700 km: 10 hops in all.

Tips from the window seat

• Flags: Plain tricolours are the hardest; check the colour of the middle band.
• Bigger or smaller: Do not trust the map for area: flat maps distort sizes.
• Find the country: Zoom in for the small ones; at the full view a few countries are only a dot.
