Expedition #1164

Expedition #1164 stays in North and Central America at the Hard level: three legs, 13 questions and 15 different countries along the way. It opens with Find the country (6 questions), carries on with Bigger or smaller (3 questions) and lands with Name the country (4 questions).

• In the map leg you tap 6 countries; a miss shows the right one and how far away you were.
• The size leg is 3 area duels: which of two countries is larger?
• In the naming leg 4 countries light up on the map and you choose each name from four.

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 26,730 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.
• Bigger or smaller: For population, think of the big cities you know in each country.
• Name the country: Count the neighbours you recognise around the yellow shape.
