Size It Up answer: September 19

The five Mixed silhouettes for September 19, 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 16 ran from a red squirrel (21 cm) to an English oak (20 m). The widest gap was round 2, Kitchen Stove against Red Squirrel, at 3.6×; the closest call was round 3, Toco Toucan against Rock Pigeon, only 1.7× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.

  1. ROUND 1

    Cheetah vs Porsche 911 Carrera (992 Carrera Coupe)

    Porsche 911 Carrera · reference · 4.542 m
    Cheetah · true length · 1.3 m

    3.5× shorter than the Porsche 911 Carrera

    A cheetah's body is about 1.3 m long — and it covers that distance in a fiftieth of a second at full sprint.

  2. ROUND 2

    Kitchen Stove (30-inch class, front view) vs Red Squirrel (head and body)

    Red Squirrel · reference · 21 cm
    Kitchen Stove · true width · 75.88 cm

    3.6× wider than the red squirrel

    A 30-inch-class range is often 75.8825 cm wide so it can fit a 30-inch cutout.

  3. ROUND 3

    Toco Toucan (bill to tail) vs Rock Pigeon

    Rock Pigeon · reference · 33 cm
    Toco Toucan · true length · 56 cm

    1.7× longer than the rock pigeon

    A toco toucan averages about 56 cm long, a third of that being bill.

  4. ROUND 4

    Dragon's Blood Tree (Dracaena cinnabari, height) vs English Oak (mature, typical height)

    English Oak · reference · 20 m
    Dragon's Blood Tree · true height · 9 m

    2.2× shorter than the English oak

    The dragon's blood tree of Socotra grows up to 9 m tall, topped by an umbrella-shaped crown.

  5. ROUND 5

    Hubble Space Telescope vs Giraffe (Male)

    Giraffe · reference · 5.5 m
    Hubble Space Telescope · true length · 13.2 m

    2.4× longer than the giraffe

    The Hubble Space Telescope is 13.2 m long, about the size of a school bus.
