Size It Up Animals answer: July 7
The five Animals silhouettes for July 7, with the true sizes. If you have not played yet, this page is a spoiler — play these five first, then come back to argue with the numbers.
This pre-launch puzzle ran from a house mouse (8 cm) to a walrus (3.2 m). The widest gap was round 3, House Mouse against Gray Wolf, at 15×; the closest call was round 2, Walrus against Holstein Cow, only 1.3× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
