Size It Up answer: August 7

The five Mixed silhouettes for August 7, 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 basketball (24 cm) to Saturn (273,600 km). The widest gap was round 1, Basketball against Golden Retriever, at 4.2×; the closest call was round 2, Horse against Lion, only 1.1× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.

  1. ROUND 1

    Basketball vs Golden Retriever

    Golden Retriever · reference · 1 m
    Basketball · true diameter · 24 cm

  2. ROUND 2

    Horse (Thoroughbred) vs Lion (Male)

    Lion · reference · 2.1 m
    Horse · true length · 2.4 m

    Jupiter vs Saturn (with rings)

    Saturn · reference · 273,600 km
