Size It Up Pop Culture answer: October 9
The five Pop Culture 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 Ditto (30 cm) to a sandcrawler (40 m). The widest gap was round 5, Gundam F91 against Red Fox, at 22×; the closest call was round 2, RX-78-2 Gundam against Gundam Aerial, only 1.0× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
