Size It Up answer: October 1
The five Mixed silhouettes for October 1, 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 28 ran from an apple (8.255 cm) to the Canton Tower (604 m). The widest gap was round 5, Boeing 787-9 against Shonisaurus, at 4.7×; the closest call was round 1, Claw Hammer against Bonsai Tree, only 1.6× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
