Expedition #1100 stays in Africa at the Easy level: three legs, 12 questions and 15 different countries along the way. It opens with Flags (5 questions), carries on with Capitals (4 questions) and lands with Bigger or smaller (3 questions).
- The flags leg names 5 countries and gives you four flags each time, 17 different flags in all.
- The capitals leg asks for the capital of 4 countries.
- The size leg is 3 area duels: which of two countries is larger?
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 50,670 km: 14 hops in all.
Tips from the window seat
- 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.
- Bigger or smaller: For population, think of the big cities you know in each country.
