ALL ANSWERS · MIXED · DAILY No. 40 · OCTOBER 13, 2026
Size It Up answer: October 13
The five Mixed silhouettes for October 13, 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 40 ran from a dodo (62.6 cm) to Angel Falls (979 m). The widest gap was round 1, Giant Sequoia against Tyrannosaurus rex, at 7.0×; the closest call was round 5, Walrus against Giant Pacific Octopus, only 1.3× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
