Size It Up answer: October 23
The five Mixed silhouettes for October 23, 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 50 ran from a chicken egg (5.58 cm) to Jupiter (143,000 km). The widest gap was round 3, Antonov An-225 against Cat 797F Mining Truck, at 5.6×; the closest call was round 2, Great Barracuda against Chimpanzee, only 1.0× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
