Rankle #124 answer: number of strings (fewest to most)

The answer

Rank by number of strings (fewest to most)

1. 1Violin4 strings
2. 2Guitar6 strings
3. 3Zither (concert)35 strings
4. 4Concert Harp47 strings

Why this order

Ranked fewest to most, Violin (4 strings) goes at the top and Concert Harp (47 strings) at the bottom.

The closest call is Violin (4 strings) against Guitar (6 strings), 2 strings apart. That is the swap most likely to cost a point.

The biggest gap is between Guitar and Zither (concert), 29 strings apart, so that boundary should be the easiest part of the order to get right.
