Size It Up Pop Culture answer: September 29
The five Pop Culture 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 Sting Sword (55.88 cm) to a Boeing 747 (70.7 m). The widest gap was round 1, Sting Sword against Ostrich, at 4.5×; the closest call was round 3, Machop against Chikorita, only 1.1× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
