Rankle #63 answer: animal weight (lightest to heaviest)

The answer

Rank by animal weight (lightest to heaviest)

1. 1Red fox~6 kg
2. 2Lion~190 kg
3. 3Hippo~1,500 kg
4. 4African elephant~6,000 kg

Why this order

Ranked lightest to heaviest, Red fox (~6 kg) goes at the top and African elephant (~6,000 kg) at the bottom.

The closest call is Hippo (~1,500 kg) against African elephant (~6,000 kg), about 4 times apart. That is the swap most likely to cost a point.

The biggest gap is between Red fox and Lion, about 32 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 1,000.

These are the figures the game reveals after you submit. They are rounded and the ones marked ~ are typical or estimated values; only the order is scored.

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