Size It Up answer: July 23
The five Mixed silhouettes for July 23, 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 Mercury (4,879 km). The widest gap was round 2, Ruby-throated Hummingbird against Great White Shark, at 50×; the closest call was round 3, Concert Grand Piano against Lion, only 1.3× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
