Size It Up Animals answer: July 13
The five Animals silhouettes for July 13, 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 capybara (1.2 m) to a sperm whale (16 m). The widest gap was round 3, Megalodon against American Bison, at 5.3×; the closest call was round 1, Humpback Whale against Sperm Whale, only 1.1× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
