ALL ANSWERS · MIXED · DAILY No. 54 · OCTOBER 27, 2026
Size It Up answer: October 27
The five Mixed silhouettes for October 27, 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 54 ran from an SD card (3.2 cm) to a football pitch (105 m). The widest gap was round 3, Human against Atlantic Puffin, at 5.7×; the closest call was round 5, Clothes Hanger against European Robin, only 3.3× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
