Size It Up Everyday Objects answer: October 29
The five Everyday Objects 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 microSD card (1.5 cm) to a pool table (2.54 m). The widest gap was round 2, microSD Card against Compact Disc, at 8.0×; the closest call was round 3, Paper Clip against Chess Rook, only 1.7× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
