Size It Up Dinosaurs answer: September 27
The five Dinosaurs 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 dromaeosaurus (1.8 m) to a diplodocus (26 m). The widest gap was round 2, Diplodocus against Yutyrannus, at 3.5×; the closest call was round 3, Anchiceratops against Abelisaurus, only 1.5× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
