Size It Up answer: October 8
The five Mixed silhouettes for October 8, 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 35 ran from a frying pan (49 cm) to Manhattan Island (21.6 km). The widest gap was round 2, Lion against Frying Pan, at 4.3×; the closest call was round 1, Vending Machine against Interior Door, only 1.1× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
