Travel Feature: Geographic Quandary
In this week's Financial Times Weekend Magazine, we delve into an intriguing puzzle that challenges readers to identify places, countries, and continents from a series of captivating images. Here's how to solve it:
- Take a close look at each image, scrutinizing landmarks, maps, flags, or distinctive cultural and geographical features to identify the location.
- Write down the name of each place precisely, as the initial letter is crucial for the final solution.
