Size It Up answer: July 12
The five Mixed silhouettes for July 12, 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 credit card (8.56 cm) to Mercury (4,879 km). The widest gap was round 2, Tyrannosaurus rex against Basketball, at 50×; the closest call was round 3, Saltwater Crocodile against Gorilla, only 2.9× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
