Size It Up Sports Gear answer: October 11
The five Sports Gear silhouettes for October 11, 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 38 ran from a handball (18.8 cm) to a stand-up paddleboard (2.743 m). The widest gap was round 4, Stand-up paddleboard against Rugby union ball, at 9.5×; the closest call was round 5, Kayak paddle against Wakeboard, only 1.5× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
