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.

Was muss man denn eingeben, damit die Stadt Offenbach grün wird? “Offenbach” jedenfalls nicht. Da wird nur der Kreis grün.
Sie müssen “Offenbach am Main” schreiben.
I had 259, but the score was not saved. 🙁
I like the quiz (but I’m also from Germany, so it’s not so hard for me), but I’m not so happy with the update.
1) in the previous version the german ä,ö and ü worked alongside a, o and u, now they don’t anymore.
2) the abbreviations are kind of odd. For example I didn’t get ‘Neumarkt i.d. OPf.’ because I couldn’t guess what kind of abbreviation you used. The correct name would be: ‘Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz’, but that does not work. ‘Neumarkt i.d. Oberpfalz’ also didn’t work. And there are several other examples where either the abbreviation worked, but not the whole title, or the other way around, and no abbreviation would work. That could definitly work better.
3) You don’t need the exact name of the district any more, which you needed in former versions. I’m not so happy with this, because if you type in ‘rhein’, you will get six or seven districts, which all starts with ‘rhein’. That should not really be the case. Also the difference between a district and a ‘free city’, which have often slightly different names, get lost.
4) if the word ‘kreis’ (german for district) is part of the name without a space between, you have to type it, but not if its an extra word (saalekreis <-> rhein sieg kreis), which is not so konvenient. That was also the case in former versions, but not typing the word ‘kreis’ if its at the end would definitly be more konvenient.
I’m using a new dataset now and the names have changed in it, ill try to fix the names so they are closer to the old way.
