Size It Up answer: September 22
The five Mixed silhouettes for September 22, 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 19 ran from a chess bishop (7 cm) to the Burj Khalifa (828 m). The widest gap was round 5, Scarlet Macaw against Gray Whale, at 18×; the closest call was round 2, Violin Body against Fire Extinguisher, only 1.4× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
