Expedition #1174

Three legs, 9 questions, 11 countries of Oceania: that is expedition #1174, flown at the Hard level. First Bigger or smaller (2 questions), then Flags (4 questions), and to finish Find the country (3 questions).

• The size leg is 2 population duels: which of two countries has more people?
• The flags leg names 4 countries and gives you four flags each time, 13 different flags in all.
• In the map leg you tap 3 countries; a miss shows the right one and how far away you were.

At the Hard level the obvious countries are left out and the wrong options are close neighbours of the right one, or, for flags, the closest look-alikes.

Capital to capital, in question order, the route covers 28,180 km over 10 hops.

Tips from the window seat

• Bigger or smaller: For population, think of the big cities you know in each country.
• Flags: Plain tricolours are the hardest; check the colour of the middle band.
• Find the country: Before tapping, find a neighbour you are sure of and work from there.
