Expedition #1144

Expedition #1144 stays in Oceania at the Easy level: three legs, 9 questions and 11 different countries along the way. It opens with Capitals (4 questions), carries on with Flags (3 questions) and lands with Bigger or smaller (2 questions).

• The capitals leg alternates: 4 questions, country to capital and back again.
• The flags leg names 3 countries and gives you four flags each time, 10 different flags in all.
• The size leg is 2 population duels: which of two countries has more people?

At the Easy level the quiz sticks to the most familiar countries of the region and fills the wrong options with countries from elsewhere: a good first trip.

Capital to capital, in question order, the route covers 30,430 km over 10 hops.

Tips from the window seat

• Capitals: Capitals that are not the largest city are the classic trap.
• Flags: Plain tricolours are the hardest; check the colour of the middle band.
• Bigger or smaller: Do not trust the map for area: flat maps distort sizes.
