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.
doesn’t make sense that some multi word cities are included if the first part is 5 letters and some aren’t
for example Torre del Greco included but Torre Annunziata isn’t
Gioia del Colle is included but Gioia Tauro isn’tRosny-sous-Bois included but Livry-Gargan isn’t etc.
I have adjusted these – they are based on the full name and I had some computing total letters off the partial shortened name. But for some cities very often referred to using a shortened name (like Frankfurt) I go with the shortened, common name.
these were just 3 examples there are dozens of others too (like in France every city that’s “sur” or “en” something)
it’s a good thing that we don’t have to type full names in general but they shouldn’t appear on quizzes like these which ask for an exact amount of letters
for some reason the markers for Halle, Essen, and Lille aren’t disappearing (even tho they’re counted into the stats)
fixing this now – thanks.
