Size It Up answer: August 5

The five Mixed silhouettes for August 5, 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 smartphone (14.7 cm) to the Moon (3,474 km). The widest gap was round 3, Concert Grand Piano against Smartphone, at 18×; the closest call was round 2, Lion against Emperor Penguin, only 1.8× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
