Size It Up Sports Gear answer: October 13
The five Sports Gear 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 squash ball (4 cm) to a battle rope (15.24 m). The widest gap was round 4, Ice hockey goalie stick against Field hockey goal, at 2.4×; the closest call was round 2, Tennis net against Battle rope, only 1.2× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
