You begin with two Europe countries/US states shown in the grid. Upon starting, your job is to sort the countries/states in order from largest to smallest by max elevation (so countries/states with the highest max elevation first). The order is represented by the '1st' thru '16th' in each box. You can click on a country/state to move it to a higher position in the list - simply click once and it will turn red, then clicked another higher-ranked country/state to position the first country/state before it. Click submit to check your answers...if they are in order you will get a new country/state added to the end which needs to be positioned correctly, and so on until you either get one wrong or complete all 15 levels.
PLEASE NOTE: Only the portions of each country geographically in Europe are counted to determine the highest points. So no Asian portion of Turkey/Russia, African portion of Spain/Portugal, Greenland, etc.

How have people named EVERY SINGLE PLACE in the US?
Years and years later… this is my favorite quiz on this site!
It would be helpful if the “missed” result here would be the cities of the highest population throughout the US that you missed. As it is now, it is only showing missed cities in AK.
A bit of an oddity here — playing this in Edge, I can’t see the population counter and percentage, although I can see the number of cities guessed and timer.
I don’t see Fort Montgomery, New York
it’s a hamlet – those aren’t included on my all places quizzes.
That’s really strange to me. I typed in a place I know is a hamlet in New York and it gave it to me. (Kaser)
Rockland county only has five towns, which are Orangetown, Clarkstown, Ramapo, Haverstraw, and Stony Point. All the other places are considered hamlets.
Does this mean that Fort Montgomery is only not there because it is unincorporated? Can you please clarify it more?
Does the population of city #11633 include Captain James Tiberius Kirk?

Thanks for getting this quiz up! I will miss the additional categories from the old version (how many of the top cities I’d gotten by state was something I liked to challenge myself with) but just having it back is awesome 😀 . Membership officially being bought shortly, as promised!
Yeah, I agree. I miss having each state have its own category. For example, if I know a bunch of cities in Idaho and wanted to tackle that state, it would be much easier if Idaho had it’s own tab versus having to search through many pages looking for a possible Idaho city that you missed.
I will change the listbox to go by state.
I hadn’t checked in a while, and the feature is back! Many thanks!
