Size It Up answer: November 5
The five Mixed silhouettes for November 5, 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 63 ran from a common house gecko (12 cm) to a Concorde (61.66 m). The widest gap was round 3, School Bus against Concorde, at 4.5×; the closest call was round 2, Flying Scotsman against Whale Shark, only 1.8× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
