Size It Up Everyday Objects answer: September 15
The five Everyday Objects silhouettes for September 15, 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 12 ran from a 3×3 puzzle cube (5.7 cm) to a shopping cart (1 m). The widest gap was round 5, 3×3 Puzzle Cube against Desk, at 13×; the closest call was round 2, Credit Card against House Key, only 1.4× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
