Size It Up answer: September 27
The five Mixed silhouettes for September 27, 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 24 ran from a concrete block (39.69 cm) to Victoria Falls (108 m). The widest gap was round 1, Concrete Block against Bathtub, at 4.3×; the closest call was round 4, C-130J-30 Hercules against Parthenon, only 2.0× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
