Size It Up answer: October 20
The five Mixed silhouettes for October 20, 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 47 ran from a blue sea dragon (3 cm) to a 26 MW Offshore Wind Turbine (340 m). The widest gap was round 5, Hippopotamus against Credit Card, at 41×; the closest call was round 1, Axolotl against Stovetop Kettle, only 1.0× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
