Rankle #137 answer: number of chromosomes (fewest to most)

The answer

Rank by number of chromosomes (fewest to most)

1. 1Fruit Fly8 chromosomes
2. 2Human46 chromosomes
3. 3Dog78 chromosomes
4. 4Goldfish94 chromosomes

Why this order

Ranked fewest to most, Fruit Fly (8 chromosomes) goes at the top and Goldfish (94 chromosomes) at the bottom.

The closest call is Dog (78 chromosomes) against Goldfish (94 chromosomes), 16 chromosomes apart. That is the swap most likely to cost a point.

The biggest gap is between Fruit Fly and Human, 38 chromosomes apart, so that boundary should be the easiest part of the order to get right.
