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.
hugequiz Premium members will see country/state max elevations when the quiz is over.
btw are Russian cities counted when determining the closer larger city?
also it would be good to have a quiz on the cities which are the farthest from any city
Yeah they are counted for that – will add a note in description.
how are these ranked?
by distances to the city larger than it. For instance #2 is Ponta Delgada all the way in the azores, with #1 being London, since the closest larger city than it is Moscow, or Istanbul
similar to the US version of this not including AK, I didn’t include Russian cities in the answers as they would be half of them 🙂
Not if you used only European Russia… at least give us Europe’s 2nd largest city — MOCKBA (as it would be spelled in the native language of it’s country)…
I did use only Euro Russia and it was half the answers
Well it covers 40% of Europe’s land area so makes sense.
they dont use latin script so you spelled it wrong. be respectful to other cultures
