Expedition #1109

This trip through Asia is set at Hard. The 11 questions come in three legs — Bigger or smaller (3 questions), then Name the country (4 questions), then Capitals (4 questions) — and visit 14 countries in all.

• The size leg mixes 3 duels on people and on land.
• In the naming leg 4 countries light up on the map and you choose each name from four.
• The capitals leg turns things round: 4 capitals, and you name the country of each.

The Hard setting is for people who know the region: no easy countries, and every wrong option sits right next to the right one.

The full route, drawn from capital to capital as the questions come, measures 62,070 km: 13 hops in all.

Tips from the window seat

• Bigger or smaller: Near-ties are common on Hard; the figures appear after each answer.
• Name the country: Look at the coastline first: which sea a country touches rules out half the options.
• Capitals: Capitals that are not the largest city are the classic trap.
