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.

Fredensborg seems bugged
this is fixed – was under Fredensborg Stationsby.
Missing a lot of cities around copenhagen.
Ballerup, Herlev, Glostrup, Gladsaxe, Søborg, Rødovre, Hvidovre, Gentofte, Hellerup, Holte, Ishøj, Albertslund, Klampenborg, Vandløse, Skovlunde, Charlottenlund, Bagsværd, and so on. Hope to have them added in some way. Maybe a newer list of city names is available.
those are municipalities, Denmark uses urban areas as the closest thing to cities, or if they are in the Copenhagen area their census counts them toward Copenhagen total.
They are not all municipalities. E.g. Søborg is a town Gladsaxe municipality. I get that a lot get bunched in with Copenhagen as a greater urban area, but it’s waay too “inclusive” in this quiz. In general, most municipalities are named after the largest city in the area, but some have different names e.g. if they used to be two municipalities that were then joined and to make it “fair” they made a 3rd name, usually a nearby lake, forest, or something similar landmark’y.
yeah I just go by my source, http://citypopulation.de/en/denmark
That source identifies Copenhagen as ~ what is normally referred to as the “greater Copenhagen area”, but that’s a region not a city. Somewhat subjective too. It would probably be better to go by municipalities as the umbrella parameter, and then focus on the cities after that. But I get that the source doesn’t do that and you would have to do them manually so I understand completely. It’s just that the natives might be somewhat annoyed. E.g. in Copenhagen there is an enclave (Frederiksberg) that is it’s own municipality (and city) but for all intents and purposes have merged with Copenhagen, similar to the suburban areas.
CityPopulation lists Statistics Denmark as its source. So if anyone disagrees with what’s considered a “city” in this context, it’s probably best to raise it with Statistics Denmark (a Danish government agency) and their definitions/methodology.
