Rankle #10 answer: country area (smallest to largest)

The answer

Rank by country area (smallest to largest)

1. 1United Kingdom243,610 km²
2. 2India3.29M km²
3. 3USA9.83M km²
4. 4Russia17.1M km²

Why this order

Ranked smallest to largest, United Kingdom (243,610 km²) goes at the top and Russia (17.1M km²) at the bottom.

The closest call is USA (9.83M km²) against Russia (17.1M km²), about 74% apart. That is the swap most likely to cost a point.

The biggest gap is between United Kingdom and India, about 14 times apart, so that boundary should be the easiest part of the order to get right.

From top to bottom the figures span a factor of roughly 70.

These are the figures the game reveals after you submit. They are rounded; only the order is scored.

Difficulty: easier, judged by how close the tightest pair is.
