Size It Up answer: August 14

The five Mixed silhouettes for August 14, 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 honeybee (1.3 cm) to Pluto (2,376 km). The widest gap was round 3, Saltwater Crocodile against International Space Station, at 22×; the closest call was round 5, Sperm Whale against Tyrannosaurus rex, only 1.3× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.

    Credit Card vs Honeybee (Worker)

    Honeybee · reference · 1.3 cm
