Three legs, 15 questions, 15 countries of World: that is expedition #1122, flown at the Hard level. First Flags (4 questions), then Name the country (5 questions), and to finish Capitals (6 questions).
- The flags leg names 4 countries and gives you four flags each time, 15 different flags in all.
- In the naming leg 5 countries light up on the map and you choose each name from four.
- The capitals leg turns things round: 6 capitals, and you name the country of each.
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 97,660 km long, with 14 hops between 15 stops.
Tips from the window seat
- Flags: Read each flag from the pole side; order matters.
- Name the country: If the close view confuses you, zoom out once and look at the whole region.
- Capitals: If two cities sound right, think of which country each one belongs to.
