Size It Up Dinosaurs answer: October 5
The five Dinosaurs silhouettes for October 5, 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 32 ran from a dromaeosaurus (1.8 m) to a brachiosaurus (22 m). The widest gap was round 1, Kentrosaurus against Brachiosaurus, at 4.4×; the closest call was round 3, Camptosaurus against Deinonychus, only 1.5× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
