Every daily dive so far, newest first. Each page starts with gentle hints and keeps the full ranking folded away, so you only see as much as you want.
Each answers page has three hints. The first explains how today's list is measured. The second names three small answers that make a safe first stop. The third names the biggest answer, the ocean floor that earns a star. Below the hints, the full ranking lists every answer with its value and source.
Open the hints in order before you look at the full list. The first hint tells you exactly how the list is measured, which settles most doubts about what counts. The second gives you a safe first stop. After that, go deeper in small steps: an answer only has to beat the one right before it, so a close neighbor is safer than a big jump. Save the obvious giants for last. And if a dive ends early, the full ranking shows which answers would have fit between your last two stops.
Every dive is a real ranked list from a public source, such as NASA, the US Census Bureau, the World Bank or the IMF. Each answers page links to its source and explains how the numbers were measured, including which year they cover and anything that was left out. If two answers would tie, one is dropped so that every stop has a clear winner.
A new dive is released every day at midnight, and its answers page appears here the same day. Older dives stay on this page for good, so you can come back to any list you enjoyed or check the one that sent you back to the surface.
