Size It Up answer: October 26
The five Mixed silhouettes for October 26, 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 53 ran from a passport (12.5 cm) to the London Eye (135 m). The widest gap was round 5, Shipping Container against Washing Machine, at 14×; the closest call was round 1, Tasmanian Devil against Skateboard, only 1.2× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
