And could you pretty plz remind me the difference between the two? I seriously can't think straight today.

The right answer is "than"
Then is something in the past as in "I was very happy back then." And than is used to differentiate between two or more things as in "I am more muscular than he is".
another one: Then is a sequence word. First he went then she went then it was his turn, etc.
Than is a comparison word. He is bigger than his brother.
Hope that answered your question,
Good luck.

The correct word for that sentence would be "than".
The difference:
You use "than" when you are comparing two things.
EX. Jim was taller THAN Jane.
You use "then" as a segue or word to, kind of, explain what happens next.
EX. Jim talked to Jane and then Carol.
EX2. Jim talked to Carol. Then he went home.

Than would be the correct answer. Then is more for time. Than is for greater thans, less thans, etc.
Choose Than.
