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.

Helgoland, Koserow and Selfkant aren‘t cities, why are they included on this quiz? Or does it count all municipalities, regardless of their official classification?
they actually are counted as settlements/communes by the German census
It´s usually spelled Heligoland, not Helgoland tho
i’ll change to accept both.
That’s the English spelling, in German it’s Helgoland
On int difficulty, in the square in the northeast around szczecin/stettin, the largest german city is definitely schwedt/oder (33.524 inh.), but it doesn’t accept this nor any other significant town in the region as solution
Found the problem: some towns with “/” in their name are only accepted without it, so “schwedtoder” instead of “schwedt/oder”
