Size It Up answer: September 2
The five Mixed silhouettes for September 2, 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 honeybee (1.3 cm) to the International Space Station (109 m). The widest gap was round 1, Credit Card against Moose, at 32×; the closest call was round 3, Gray Wolf against Golden Retriever, only 1.2× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
