Size It Up Geography answer: September 2
The five Geography 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 the Comoros (141.3 km) to the Netherlands (7,913 km). The widest gap was round 1, Netherlands against Honduras, at 12×; the closest call was round 3, South Carolina against Senegal, only 1.5× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
