Size It Up Dinosaurs answer: October 14
The five Dinosaurs silhouettes for October 14, 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 41 ran from a dromaeosaurus (1.8 m) to a tyrannosaurus rex (12 m). The widest gap was round 5, Velociraptor against Tyrannosaurus rex, at 6.7×; the closest call was round 1, Gallimimus against Carnotaurus, only 1.3× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
