Size It Up Animals answer: July 14
The five Animals silhouettes for July 14, 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 a blue whale (27 m). The widest gap was round 4, Velociraptor against Monarch Butterfly, at 20×; the closest call was round 2, Gray Wolf against Moose, only 2.3× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
