Expedition #1145

This trip through Europe is set at Easy. The 12 questions come in three legs — Name the country (4 questions), then Capitals (4 questions), then Flags (4 questions) — and visit 12 countries in all.

• In the naming leg 4 countries light up on the map and you choose each name from four.
• The capitals leg asks for the capital of 4 countries.
• The flags leg shows 4 flags and asks for their countries; 4 different flags pass in front of you.

The Easy setting keeps to well-known countries; the wrong answers come from other subregions and are rarely close.

The full route, drawn from capital to capital as the questions come, measures 11,640 km: 11 hops in all.

Tips from the window seat

• Name the country: Count the neighbours you recognise around the yellow shape.
• Capitals: Say the pair in both directions in your head after each answer.
• Flags: Look for the small details: a star, a crescent, an emblem.
