Size It Up answer: August 28

The five Mixed silhouettes for August 28, 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 tennis ball (6.7 cm) to Mars (6,779 km). The widest gap was round 3, Tennis Ball against Holstein Cow, at 37×; the closest call was round 1, Grizzly Bear against Human, only 1.2× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
