Size It Up Pop Culture answer: October 26
The five Pop Culture 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 Geodude (40 cm) to an X-wing Starfighter (13.4 m). The widest gap was round 5, X-wing Starfighter against Ring-tailed Lemur, at 32×; the closest call was round 4, X-34 Landspeeder against Orca, only 2.1× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
