Rankle #71 answer: maximum depth (shallowest to deepest)

The answer

Rank by maximum depth (shallowest to deepest)

1. 1Arctic Ocean5,625 metres
2. 2Indian Ocean7,258 metres
3. 3Atlantic Ocean8,376 metres
4. 4Pacific Ocean10,929 metres

Why this order

Ranked shallowest to deepest, Arctic Ocean (5,625 metres) goes at the top and Pacific Ocean (10,929 metres) at the bottom.

The closest call is Indian Ocean (7,258 metres) against Atlantic Ocean (8,376 metres), only about 15% apart. That is the swap most likely to cost a point.

The biggest gap is between Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean, about 30% 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: medium, judged by how close the tightest pair is.
