Expedition #1113

This trip through Europe is set at Easy. The 11 questions come in three legs — Bigger or smaller (3 questions), then Flags (4 questions), then Capitals (4 questions) — and visit 14 countries in all.

• The size leg is 3 population duels: which of two countries has more people?
• The flags leg shows 4 flags and asks for their countries; 4 different flags pass in front of you.
• The capitals leg asks for the capital of 4 countries.

Easy means the questions come from the best-known countries of the region, and wrong options from other parts of the world, so most of them can be ruled out at a glance.

If you joined the stops capital to capital, in the order the questions bring them, the dashed line would be 20,740 km long, with 13 hops between 14 stops.

Tips from the window seat

• Bigger or smaller: Do not trust the map for area: flat maps distort sizes.
• Flags: Look for the small details: a star, a crescent, an emblem.
• Capitals: If two cities sound right, think of which country each one belongs to.
