Size It Up Everyday Objects answer: September 26
The five Everyday Objects silhouettes for September 26, 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 23 ran from a chicken egg (5.58 cm) to a pool table (2.54 m). The widest gap was round 1, Toilet Paper Roll against Shopping Cart, at 8.7×; the closest call was round 3, Frying Pan against Bed Pillow, only 1.3× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
