Size It Up Dinosaurs answer: November 1
The five Dinosaurs silhouettes for November 1, 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 59 ran from a scutellosaurus (1.2 m) to a carcharodontosaurus (12.5 m). The widest gap was round 1, Scutellosaurus against Baryonyx, at 8.3×; the closest call was round 2, Carcharodontosaurus against Tenontosaurus, only 1.8× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
