Size It Up Food & Drink answer: November 3
The five Food & Drink silhouettes for November 3, 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 61 ran from a maple sugar piece (4.445 cm) to a baguette (54.61 cm). The widest gap was round 2, Ear of Sweet Corn against Baguette, at 3.0×; the closest call was round 3, Kiwifruit against Potato, only 1.4× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
