Rankle #66 answer: bite force (weakest to strongest)

The answer

Rank by bite force (weakest to strongest)

1. 1Human~160 psi
2. 2Lion~650 psi
3. 3Hippo~1,800 psi
4. 4Saltwater crocodile~3,700 psi

Why this order

Ranked weakest to strongest, Human (~160 psi) goes at the top and Saltwater crocodile (~3,700 psi) at the bottom.

The closest call is Hippo (~1,800 psi) against Saltwater crocodile (~3,700 psi), about 2.1 times apart. That is the swap most likely to cost a point.

The biggest gap is between Human and Lion, about 4.1 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 23.

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.
