Daily puzzle for Friday 23 October 2026

The answer

Rank by length of their first presidential term (shortest to longest)

  1. 1William Henry Harrison0.085 years
  2. 2Zachary Taylor1.35 years
  3. 3John F. Kennedy2.84 years
  4. 4George Washington4 years

Why this order

Ranked shortest to longest, William Henry Harrison (0.085 years) goes at the top and George Washington (4 years) at the bottom.

The closest call is John F. Kennedy (2.84 years) against George Washington (4 years), about 41% apart. That is the swap most likely to cost a point.

The biggest gap is between William Henry Harrison and Zachary Taylor, about 16 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 47.

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