Size It Up Sports Gear answer: November 4
The five Sports Gear 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 field hockey ball (7.305 cm) to a fencing foil (1.1 m). The widest gap was round 2, Cricket bat against Hammer-throw head, at 7.2×; the closest call was round 4, Croquet mallet against Fencing foil, only 1.2× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
