Expedition #1089

This trip through Asia is set at Medium. The 15 questions come in three legs — Capitals (4 questions), then Find the country (5 questions), then Flags (6 questions) — and visit 15 countries in all.

• The capitals leg turns things round: 4 capitals, and you name the country of each.
• In the map leg you tap 5 countries; a miss shows the right one and how far away you were.
• The flags leg alternates between naming a flag and picking one: 6 questions and 13 different flags.

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 58,490 km long, with 14 hops between 15 stops.

Tips from the window seat

• Capitals: Say the pair in both directions in your head after each answer.
• Find the country: Zoom in for the small ones; at the full view a few countries are only a dot.
• Flags: Plain tricolours are the hardest; check the colour of the middle band.

After the landing
