Size It Up Animals answer: October 19
The five Animals silhouettes for October 19, 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 46 ran from a common house gecko (12 cm) to a humpback whale (14 m). The widest gap was round 5, Atlantic Puffin against Plains Zebra, at 7.7×; the closest call was round 1, Ostrich against Horse, only 1.0× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
