We know that New Town is in the Mountains and the Mountains have 33 inches so it takes place in the middle.
Olliopolis is taking the next place with 44 inches so there is only one place higher than Olliopolis.
We know that Last Stand has more than Olliopolis, which means Last Stand takes the first place with 65 inches.
Now we have only the last two places left and we have the condition, that Polberg has less than Mile City.
As there are only two places left, we can conclude that Polberg has 12 inches and Mile City 27 inches.
Olliopolis is taking the next place with 44 inches so there is only one place higher than Olliopolis.
We know that Last Stand has more than Olliopolis, which means Last Stand takes the first place with 65 inches.
