ALL ANSWERS · MIXED · DAILY No. 56 · OCTOBER 29, 2026
Size It Up answer: October 29
The five Mixed silhouettes for October 29, 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 56 ran from a step stool (50 cm) to the Burj Khalifa (828 m). The widest gap was round 5, Step Stool against Porsche 911 Carrera, at 9.1×; the closest call was round 2, James Webb Space Telescope against Space Shuttle Orbiter, only 1.8× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
