Expedition #1096

Expedition #1096 stays in South America at the Medium level: three legs, 11 questions and 11 different countries along the way. It opens with Find the country (3 questions), carries on with Flags (4 questions) and lands with Capitals (4 questions).

• In the map leg you tap 3 countries; a miss shows the right one and how far away you were.
• The flags leg names 4 countries and gives you four flags each time, 8 different flags in all.
• The capitals leg turns things round: 4 capitals, and you name the country of each.

At the Medium level most of the region is in play and the wrong options are fellow countries of the same continent.

Capital to capital, in question order, the route covers 26,860 km over 10 hops.

Tips from the window seat

• 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.
• Capitals: Say the pair in both directions in your head after each answer.
