Size It Up answer: August 18
The five Mixed silhouettes for August 18, 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 credit card (8.56 cm) to Earth (12,740 km). The widest gap was round 1, Concert Grand Piano against Credit Card, at 32×; the closest call was round 5, Moon against Earth, only 3.7× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
