Expedition #1092

Expedition #1092 stays in Asia at the Hard level: three legs, 12 questions and 12 different countries along the way. It opens with Flags (4 questions), carries on with Capitals (4 questions) and lands with Name the country (4 questions).

• The flags leg alternates between naming a flag and picking one: 4 questions and 10 different flags.
• The capitals leg turns things round: 4 capitals, and you name the country of each.
• In the naming leg 4 countries light up on the map and you choose each name from four.

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 41,790 km long, with 11 hops between 12 stops.

Tips from the window seat

• Flags: Read each flag from the pole side; order matters.
• Capitals: Capitals that are not the largest city are the classic trap.
• Name the country: Count the neighbours you recognise around the yellow shape.
