Size It Up answer: August 22

The five Mixed silhouettes for August 22, 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 smartphone (14.7 cm) to Jupiter (143,000 km). The widest gap was round 3, Moon against Jupiter, at 41×; the closest call was round 4, King-size Bed against Polar Bear, only 1.2× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
