Answer: a computer keyboard measures 44 cm (length / span), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a domestic cat at 46 cm.
Full-size boards owe their width to the number pad; tenkeyless models lose about 10 cm.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a computer keyboard when it sits beside a domestic cat — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: a smartwatch measures 4.5 cm (height), which is about 2.1× smaller than the reference, a coffee mug at 9.5 cm.
Watch cases are sold by case diameter in millimetres, and 45 mm is a large one.
