Size It Up Animals answer: July 15
The five Animals 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 golden retriever (1 m) to a brachiosaurus (22 m). The widest gap was round 3, Great Hammerhead Shark against Capybara, at 3.3×; the closest call was round 2, Golden Retriever against Galápagos Giant Tortoise, only 1.3× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
