Rankle #91 answer: date (earliest to latest)

The answer

Rank by date (earliest to latest)

1. 1Building of the Great Pyramid (start)2580 BC
2. 2Birth of Jesus (conventional)1 AD
3. 3Fall of the Western Roman Empire476 AD
4. 4Discovery of America (Columbus)1492 AD

Why this order

Ranked earliest to latest, Building of the Great Pyramid (start) (2580 BC) goes at the top and Discovery of America (Columbus) (1492 AD) at the bottom.

The closest call is Birth of Jesus (conventional) (1 AD) against Fall of the Western Roman Empire (476 AD), 475 years apart. That is the swap most likely to cost a point.

The biggest gap is between Building of the Great Pyramid (start) and Birth of Jesus (conventional), 2,581 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.
