Size It Up answer: July 8
The five Mixed silhouettes for July 8, 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 ruby-throated hummingbird (9 cm) to Pluto (2,376 km). The widest gap was round 5, Ostrich against European Rabbit, at 6.3×; the closest call was round 3, Bengal Tiger against Wandering Albatross, only 1.1× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
