Size It Up Pop Culture answer: October 4
The five Pop Culture silhouettes for October 4, 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 31 ran from a moon jellyfish (29 cm) to an aircraft carrier (333 m). The widest gap was round 1, Lapras against Moon Jellyfish, at 8.6×; the closest call was round 5, Cyndaquil against House Cat, only 1.1× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
