Expedition #1140

Expedition #1140 stays in Asia at the Hard level: three legs, 13 questions and 16 different countries along the way. It opens with Find the country (5 questions), carries on with Bigger or smaller (3 questions) and lands with Flags (5 questions).

• In the map leg you tap 5 countries; a miss shows the right one and how far away you were.
• The size leg mixes 3 duels on people and on land.
• The flags leg alternates between naming a flag and picking one: 5 questions and 11 different flags.

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 55,040 km long, with 15 hops between 16 stops.

Tips from the window seat

• Find the country: Before tapping, find a neighbour you are sure of and work from there.
• Bigger or smaller: For population, think of the big cities you know in each country.
• Flags: Plain tricolours are the hardest; check the colour of the middle band.
