Expedition #1146

Three legs, 15 questions, 15 countries of Asia: that is expedition #1146, flown at the Easy level. First Name the country (5 questions), then Find the country (6 questions), and to finish Capitals (4 questions).

• In the naming leg 5 countries light up on the map and you choose each name from four.
• In the map leg you tap 6 countries; a miss shows the right one and how far away you were.
• 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 55,480 km long, with 14 hops between 15 stops.

Tips from the window seat

• Name the country: Look at the coastline first: which sea a country touches rules out half the options.
• Find the country: Zoom in for the small ones; at the full view a few countries are only a dot.
• Capitals: If two cities sound right, think of which country each one belongs to.
