ALL ANSWERS · MIXED · DAILY No. 34 · OCTOBER 7, 2026
Size It Up answer: October 7
The five Mixed silhouettes for October 7, 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 34 ran from a black widow spider (3.8 cm) to the RMS Titanic (269 m). The widest gap was round 2, Airbus A350-900 against Saguaro Cactus, at 5.5×; the closest call was round 3, Fin Whale against SR-71 Blackbird, only 1.6× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
