Size It Up answer: August 8
The five Mixed silhouettes for August 8, 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 gray wolf (1.2 m) to Earth (12,740 km). The widest gap was round 4, Earth against Ceres, at 14×; the closest call was round 3, African Elephant against Polar Bear, only 1.3× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
