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.
I think that Saint Petersburg shouldn’t be on here (since it’s 15 letters). And in the “50 hardest” West Bromwich is listed twice
for ‘Saint’ i went with ‘St’ for countries where that is the typical spelling (via the country’s census/Wikipedia/other references to the city) – so for US/Russia and a few others it is ‘St’ whereas French/etc it is ‘Saint’ and other countries may be something like ‘Sankt’.
okay, though I’m pretty sure St. is not a typical spelling in Russia (since Russian doesn’t even have a St. abbreviation)
How long are you going to continue with this series?
If the US series is anything to go by, 14 letters… then a Long Names one for everything beyond that.
yeah long names coming soon for the balance, maybe one more 13-letter one.
