You have just escaped a prison in Ottawa. You want to get to Brasilia. The only route you can take is via nearest capital cities. Starting with Ottawa, find its nearest capital city. When you guess correctly, your next hint will be your guessed country's nearest capital and so on and so on until you reach Brasilia. You can only use each capital city once. Good Luck!
Why would you have to go East to Brasilia, Bolivia, Asuncion, Montevideo and Buenos Aires in order to get West to Santiago? Wouldn't it make more sense to go from Lima South to Santiago?
Because Montevideo is physically closer to Santiago than it is to Brasilia. Because you can't REPEAT capitals the next available FREE capital after Santiago is Brasilia. It will be clear if you look at a map with capitals highlighted. Thanks!
