Answer: a hockey puck measures 7.6 cm (length / span), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a chocolate chip cookie at 8 cm.
A regulation puck is exactly three inches across.
How people guessed: across 27 runs the typical guess was 8.1 cm — 7% too large.
Answer: a violin measures 59 cm (height), which is about 1.5× smaller than the reference, a dining chair at 90 cm.
A full-size violin is always about this long; smaller fractions exist for children, down to 1/16.
How people guessed: across 27 runs the typical guess was 61.6 cm — almost exactly right.
Answer: a ladybird beetle measures 1 cm (length / span), which is about 1.3× smaller than the reference, a leafcutter ant at 1.3 cm.
One ladybird can eat several thousand aphids in a lifetime.
How people guessed: across 27 runs the typical guess was 9.4 mm — 6% too small.
Answer: a US interior door measures 2 m (height), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, a refrigerator at 1.8 m.
The familiar American interior door is usually 80 inches tall.
How people guessed: across 27 runs the typical guess was 2.3 m — 11% too large.
Answer: the Elizabeth Tower measures 96 m (height), which is about 1.2× smaller than the reference, a Saturn V rocket at 110.6 m.
The clock tower commonly called Big Ben is 96 metres tall.
How people guessed: across 27 runs the typical guess was 142 m — 48% too large. The most common miss is picturing the Elizabeth Tower far bigger than a Saturn V rocket really allows.
