Size It Up answer: August 15

The five Mixed silhouettes for August 15, 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 Holstein cow (2.5 m) to Jupiter (143,000 km). The widest gap was round 1, Jupiter against Mercury, at 29×; the closest call was round 5, Whale Shark against Giant Squid, only 1.0× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.

  1. ROUND 1

    Jupiter vs Mercury

    Mercury · reference · 4,879 km
    Jupiter · true diameter · 143,000 km
