Sort It Out

Trust your instincts. Put five countries in the right order.

How to play & scoring

Arrange the countries from highest to lowest. Each correctly ordered pair counts. Equal values can go in either order.

Worked example

Five countries with different values make ten pairs. In a perfect order, all ten pairs are correct. Swapping two neighbouring countries reverses just their pair, leaving nine correct pairs.

Examples illustrate the rules. They are not real country statistics or answers to your round.

What to watch for

Start with the highest and lowest values you feel confident about, then place the middle countries. The direction is highest to lowest. A tied pair does not need an artificial winner and is excluded from comparable pairs.
