Size It Up Pop Culture answer: September 25
The five Pop Culture 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 an axolotl (23 cm) to the Destroy Gundam (56.3 m). The widest gap was round 5, Nu Gundam against Dragonite, at 10×; the closest call was round 3, Destroy Gundam against Ultraman, only 1.4× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
