Size It Up answer: August 26

The five Mixed silhouettes for August 26, 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 chimpanzee (1.5 m) to Saturn (273,600 km). The widest gap was round 2, African Elephant against Sperm Whale, at 5.0×; the closest call was round 5, Lion against Bengal Tiger, only 1.3× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
