Size It Up Pop Culture answer: October 22
The five Pop Culture 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 rock pigeon (33 cm) to the Destroy Gundam (56.3 m). The widest gap was round 4, Gundam Barbatos against Destroy Gundam, at 3.1×; the closest call was round 1, Psyduck against Raccoon, only 1.2× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
