Rankle #32 answer: forest area (smallest to largest)

The answer

Rank by forest area (smallest to largest)

1. 1UK forests3.18M hectares
2. 2Brazil forests496.6M hectares
3. 3Russian forests815.3M hectares
4. 4World forests4.09B hectares

Why this order

Ranked smallest to largest, UK forests (3.18M hectares) goes at the top and World forests (4.09B hectares) at the bottom.

The closest call is Brazil forests (496.6M hectares) against Russian forests (815.3M hectares), about 64% apart. That is the swap most likely to cost a point.

The biggest gap is between UK forests and Brazil forests, about 160 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 1,300.

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.
