Size It Up Everyday Objects answer: October 20
The five Everyday Objects 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 six-sided die (1.6 cm) to a floor lamp (1.549 m). The widest gap was round 4, Paper Clip against Claw Hammer, at 9.6×; the closest call was round 5, Fire Extinguisher against Violin Body, only 1.4× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
