Size It Up Sports Gear answer: October 25
The five Sports Gear silhouettes for October 25, 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 52 ran from a softball (9.7 cm) to a rowing oar (3.725 m). The widest gap was round 3, Water polo ball against Snooker cue, at 6.7×; the closest call was round 5, Dumbbell against Gymnastics ring, only 2.3× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
