Size It Up answer: July 15
The five Mixed silhouettes for July 15, 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 the Moon (3,474 km). The widest gap was round 1, Tyrannosaurus rex against Basketball, at 50×; the closest call was round 5, King-size Bed against Emperor Penguin, only 1.7× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
