Answer: a coffee mug measures 9.5 cm (height), which is about 1.5× smaller than the reference, a smartphone at 14.7 cm.
A standard mug holds about 350 ml — the same as a soda can, in a shorter, wider package.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a coffee mug when it sits beside a smartphone — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: a light bulb measures 11 cm (height), which is about 1.1× smaller than the reference, a soda can at 12.2 cm.
The classic A60 bulb takes its name from its widest point, 60 mm across.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a light bulb when it sits beside a soda can — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
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.
Common miss: players tend to compress a US interior door when it sits beside a refrigerator — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: a three-seat sofa measures 2.2 m (length / span), which is about 1.2× smaller than the reference, a concert grand piano at 2.7 m.
Two metres of sofa is mostly frame and armrest; the seating itself is nearer 1.6 m.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a three-seat sofa when it sits beside a concert grand piano — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: a bathtub measures 1.7 m (length / span), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a road bicycle at 1.8 m.
A standard tub is shorter than most adults are tall, which is why you never quite lie flat.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a bathtub when it sits beside a road bicycle — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
