Size It Up Everyday Objects answer: October 24
The five Everyday Objects silhouettes for October 24, 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 51 ran from a six-sided die (1.6 cm) to a pool table (2.54 m). The widest gap was round 5, Paperback Book against Pool Table, at 14×; the closest call was round 1, Sticky Note against US Dollar Bill, only 2.1× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
