Size It Up answer: July 9
The five Mixed silhouettes for July 9, 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 golden retriever (1 m) to Jupiter (143,000 km). The widest gap was round 2, Jupiter against Mercury, at 29×; the closest call was round 4, Moose against Komodo Dragon, only 1.1× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
