Size It Up answer: September 11

The five Mixed silhouettes for September 11, 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.

Day 8 ran from a table tennis ball (4 cm) to an Airbus H135 (12.26 m). The widest gap was round 4, Land Rover Defender 90 against Airbus H135, at 2.7×; the closest call was round 5, Great White Shark against Walrus, only 1.4× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.

  1. ROUND 1

    Emperor Penguin vs Fire Hydrant

    Fire Hydrant · reference · 75 cm
    Emperor Penguin · true height · 1.2 m

    1.6× taller than the fire hydrant

    An emperor penguin stands about 1.2 m tall.

  2. ROUND 2

    Segway MAX G2 (unfolded) vs American Bison (Bull)

    American Bison · reference · 3 m
    Segway MAX G2 · true length · 1.21 m

    2.5× shorter than the American bison

    The MAX G2 is 1.21 m long. Its handlebar stands higher than that, but this round measures horizontally.

  3. ROUND 3

    Table Tennis Ball vs Credit Card

    Credit Card · reference · 8.56 cm
    Table Tennis Ball · true diameter · 4 cm

    2.1× shorter than the credit card

    A table tennis ball is 4 cm across and weighs less than a sheet of paper.

  4. ROUND 4

    Land Rover Defender 90 (including spare wheel) vs Airbus H135 (including rotor envelope)

    Airbus H135 · reference · 12.26 m
    Land Rover Defender 90 · true length · 4.583 m

    2.7× shorter than the Airbus H135

    The Defender 90 measures 4.583 m including its spare wheel. Leaving the spare out would shorten the quoted length.

  5. ROUND 5

    Great White Shark vs Walrus (Bull)

    Walrus · reference · 3.2 m
    Great White Shark · true length · 4.5 m

    1.4× longer than the walrus

    A great white shark is typically 4.5 m long — about a family car.
