Size It Up Food & Drink answer: November 4
The five Food & Drink silhouettes for November 4, 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 62 ran from a pat of butter (2.54 cm) to a chocolate layer cake (21.59 cm). The widest gap was round 5, Pat of Butter against Water Bottle, at 7.9×; the closest call was round 3, Blueberry Muffin against Fig, only 1.2× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
