Size It Up Geography answer: July 21
The five Geography 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 the United States Virgin Islands (78.43 km) to the Netherlands (7,913 km). The widest gap was round 1, United States Virgin Islands against North Carolina, at 10×; the closest call was round 5, New Caledonia against Utah, only 1.5× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
