Size It Up answer: July 21
The five Mixed silhouettes for July 21, 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 Saturn (273,600 km). The widest gap was round 4, Saturn against Mars, at 40×; the closest call was round 3, Human against Emperor Penguin, only 1.4× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
