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.
My native country, maybe I’ll try to complete expert on this one. Unfortunately I’m from the north which has a lot less coverage on the quiz. There would have been so many more squares 50 years ago.
For reference, in just Örnsköldsvik municipality where I’m from there would be 5 more squares on expert using the 1960 census. last census as tätort in parentheses: Nyliden (1960), Myckelgensjö (1960), Skorped (1980), Solberg (1995), Trehörningsjö (2000).
Other municipalities like Vilhelmina which only has 1 now would have had 5+
