Expedition #1152 stays in Asia at the Medium level: three legs, 15 questions and 15 different countries along the way. It opens with Find the country (4 questions), carries on with Flags (5 questions) and lands with Capitals (6 questions).
- In the map leg you tap 4 countries; a miss shows the right one and how far away you were.
- The flags leg names 5 countries and gives you four flags each time, 16 different flags in all.
- The capitals leg turns things round: 6 capitals, and you name the country of each.
Medium draws on three quarters of the region, and the wrong options come from the same continent, so you have to know where things actually are.
If you joined the stops capital to capital, in the order the questions bring them, the dashed line would be 63,420 km long, with 14 hops between 15 stops.
Tips from the window seat
- Find the country: Before tapping, find a neighbour you are sure of and work from there.
- Flags: Look for the small details: a star, a crescent, an emblem.
- Capitals: If two cities sound right, think of which country each one belongs to.
