Size It Up Geography answer: October 12
The five Geography silhouettes for October 12, 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 39 ran from Lake Taupo (30.13 km) to Chile (4,234 km). The widest gap was round 1, Lake Taupo against Faroe Islands, at 3.5×; the closest call was round 5, Saint Pierre and Miquelon against Lake Tana, only 1.9× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
