Size It Up Everyday Objects answer: October 22
The five Everyday Objects silhouettes for October 22, 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 49 ran from a paint can (19.43 cm) to a pool table (2.54 m). The widest gap was round 1, Wine Glass against Floor Lamp, at 7.0×; the closest call was round 3, Sofa against Pool Table, only 1.2× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
