Rankle #69 answer: average lifespan (shortest to longest)

The answer

Rank by average lifespan (shortest to longest)

1. 1Mouse2 years
2. 2Dog13 years
3. 3Human73 years
4. 4Bowhead Whale200 years

Why this order

Ranked shortest to longest, Mouse (2 years) goes at the top and Bowhead Whale (200 years) at the bottom.

The closest call is Mouse (2 years) against Dog (13 years), 11 years apart. That is the swap most likely to cost a point.

The biggest gap is between Human and Bowhead Whale, 127 years apart, so that boundary should be the easiest part of the order to get right.

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

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