Expedition #1166

Three legs, 13 questions, 16 countries of Europe: that is expedition #1166, flown at the Medium level. First Capitals (5 questions), then Bigger or smaller (3 questions), and to finish Name the country (5 questions).

• The capitals leg alternates: 5 questions, country to capital and back again.
• The size leg is 3 population duels: which of two countries has more people?
• In the naming leg 5 countries light up on the map and you choose each name from four.

The Medium setting widens the pool and keeps the wrong answers on the same continent: neighbours are not far away.

The full route, drawn from capital to capital as the questions come, measures 22,160 km: 15 hops in all.

Tips from the window seat

• Capitals: If two cities sound right, think of which country each one belongs to.
• Bigger or smaller: Do not trust the map for area: flat maps distort sizes.
• Name the country: If the close view confuses you, zoom out once and look at the whole region.
