Size It Up Everyday Objects answer: October 9
The five Everyday Objects silhouettes for October 9, 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 36 ran from a microSD card (1.5 cm) to a table tennis table (2.74 m). The widest gap was round 2, Park Bench against Bucket, at 4.9×; the closest call was round 4, Toy Building Brick against microSD Card, only 2.1× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
