Size It Up Everyday Objects answer: September 30
The five Everyday Objects silhouettes for September 30, 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 27 ran from a guitar pick (3.05 cm) to a floor mirror (1.96 m). The widest gap was round 3, Pocket Media Player against Stop Sign, at 10.0×; the closest call was round 2, Hand Truck against Floor Mirror, only 1.5× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
