Size It Up Pop Culture answer: September 27
The five Pop Culture 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 Jigglypuff (50 cm) to the Destroy Gundam (56.3 m). The widest gap was round 5, Jigglypuff against Hot Air Balloon, at 40×; the closest call was round 1, Lugia against Volkswagen Beetle, only 1.3× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
