Size It Up Sports Gear answer: October 2
The five Sports Gear silhouettes for October 2, 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 29 ran from a racquetball (5.7 cm) to a battle rope (15.24 m). The widest gap was round 5, Gymnastics balance beam against Disc golf basket rim, at 7.6×; the closest call was round 3, Racquetball racket against Cricket stump, only 1.4× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
