Life Expectancy 🇧🇷🇯🇵
This ranki.gg Rank it uses one measure: Life expectancy at birth, years, 2024, in years. The countries on the card are Japan, Albania, Brazil, Russia, Nigeria. You do not have to recall the numbers from memory. They sit in a column. The job is to match each country to the value that belongs to it, then lock the order in. Five tries. A card in the right spot locks. A card in the wrong spot turns red so you can move it.
Poor Albania outlives Russia because Russian men die young from alcohol and heart disease. Nigeria's life expectancy is the lowest in the World Bank series.
The countries on the card
| # | Country | years |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Japan | 84 |
| 2 | Albania | 79.8 |
| 3 | Brazil | 76 |
| 4 | Russia | 73.4 |
| 5 | Nigeria | 54.6 |
Japan leads this table at 84 years. After that: Albania at 79.8 (4.2 years under Japan); Brazil at 76 (3.8 years under Albania); Russia at 73.4 (2.6 years under Brazil); Nigeria at 54.6 (18.8 years under Russia). Japan is 1.538 times Nigeria. That multiple is the top row divided by the bottom row of this same table. In the wider list of 217 stored on the puzzle, Japan is number 10, Albania is number 54, Brazil is number 99, Russia is number 122, Nigeria is number 217.
The fact says Albania outlives Russia because Russian men die young from alcohol and heart disease, and that Nigeria's life expectancy is the lowest in the World Bank series. Japan leads this five. Brazil sits between Albania and Russia. The source is the World Bank series SP.DYN.LE00.IN, life expectancy at birth, from the UN Population Division, for 2024.
The source line on the puzzle is: World Bank (UN Population Division): Life expectancy at birth (SP.DYN.LE00.IN). The puzzle does not add a separate caveat beyond that source line and the fact above. ranki.gg does not invent a value that is missing from that source. If two countries were so close that the order would depend on rounding, they would not be the pair the card asks you to separate.
When you finish the puzzle, the answer screen repeats the order, the fact, and a link to the source. That link is the same URL cited here: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.DYN.LE00.IN.
