Size It Up Everyday Objects answer: September 13

The five Everyday Objects silhouettes for September 13, 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 10 ran from a coin (2.426 cm) to a shopping cart (1 m). The widest gap was round 5, Paper Clip against Scissors, at 6.2×; the closest call was round 2, Claw Hammer against Shopping Cart, only 3.1× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.

  1. ROUND 1

    Desk (74 cm high, side view) vs Smartphone (6.1-inch)

    Smartphone · reference · 14.7 cm
    Desk · true height · 74 cm

    5.0× taller than the smartphone

    This desk surface stands 74 cm above the floor; the side view keeps that height easy to judge.

  2. ROUND 2

    Claw Hammer (16 oz, 318 mm) vs Shopping Cart

    Shopping Cart · reference · 1 m
    Claw Hammer · true length · 31.8 cm

    3.1× shorter than the shopping cart

    The head of this hammer weighs 16 ounces, but its full length is 31.8 cm.

  3. ROUND 3

    Coin (US quarter) vs Compact Disc

    Compact Disc · reference · 12 cm
    Coin · true diameter · 2.426 cm

    4.9× shorter than the compact disc

    A US quarter is 24.26 mm across, measured through the centre.

  4. ROUND 4

    AA Battery (LR6, maximum envelope) vs Dinner Plate (27 cm)

    Dinner Plate · reference · 27 cm
    AA Battery · true length · 5.05 cm

    5.3× shorter than the dinner plate

    The LR6 battery envelope reaches 50.5 mm including the positive terminal.

  5. ROUND 5

    Paper Clip (33 mm oval) vs Scissors (8-inch, closed)

    Scissors · reference · 20.32 cm
    Paper Clip · true length · 3.3 cm

    6.2× shorter than the scissors

    An oval 33 mm paper clip is measured end to end, not along its bent wire.
