okay there are multiple ways to do this by age, alphabetically, height so i honestly don't know but there could be 1,4 or 1,9 ..... if its only about height then it would be 1,2

1:2
you have 2 choices, to go from tallest to shortest or from shortest to tallest.
and we picked one choice so it's 1 of 2
also, like flipping a coin, you have 2 choices, the probability is 1 of 2
