Size It Up Everyday Objects answer: September 19
The five Everyday Objects 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 an AA battery (5.05 cm) to a refrigerator (1.75 m). The widest gap was round 5, Refrigerator against Pocket Media Player, at 23×; the closest call was round 1, Compact Disc against US Dollar Bill, only 1.3× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
