Size It Up Everyday Objects answer: September 14
The five Everyday Objects silhouettes for September 14, 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 11 ran from a sticky note (7.6 cm) to a vending machine (1.83 m). The widest gap was round 5, Step Ladder against Brick, at 8.0×; the closest call was round 1, Concrete Block against Carry-on Suitcase, only 1.4× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
