Size It Up answer: September 25
The five Mixed silhouettes for September 25, 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 22 ran from a peacock spider (5 mm) to a London Black Cab (4.58 m). The widest gap was round 5, Peacock Spider against Baseball, at 15×; the closest call was round 2, Paint Can against Concrete Block, only 2.0× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
