Size It Up Everyday Objects answer: October 23
The five Everyday Objects 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 SIM card (2.5 cm) to a table tennis table (2.74 m). The widest gap was round 2, Table Tennis Table against Tennis Racket, at 4.0×; the closest call was round 5, Compact Disc against Cassette Tape, only 1.2× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
