Size It Up Dinosaurs answer: September 29
The five Dinosaurs silhouettes for September 29, 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 26 ran from a velociraptor (1.8 m) to a carnotaurus (8 m). The widest gap was round 5, Dromaeosaurus against Ceratosaurus, at 3.9×; the closest call was round 1, Centrosaurus against Carnotaurus, only 1.3× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
