Answer: a hamburger measures 10 cm (length / span), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a monarch butterfly at 10 cm.
A patty shrinks by about a quarter on the grill, which is why the bun always looks oversized.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a hamburger when it sits beside a monarch butterfly — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: a carrot measures 20 cm (height), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a paperback book at 20 cm.
Supermarket carrots are pulled young — left in the ground they keep growing.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a carrot when it sits beside a paperback book — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: a wine bottle measures 30 cm (height), which is 2× as big as the reference, a smartphone at 14.7 cm.
Almost every 750 ml bottle is the same height, whatever the shape of its shoulders.
Common miss: players tend to compress a wine bottle when it sits beside a smartphone — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: a chocolate chip cookie measures 8 cm (length / span), which is about 1.3× smaller than the reference, a hamburger at 10 cm.
A bakery cookie spreads to roughly twice the diameter of the dough ball it started as.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a chocolate chip cookie when it sits beside a hamburger — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: a hard-shell taco measures 15 cm (length / span), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a hot dog at 15 cm.
A hard shell is folded from a flat tortilla, so the shell is as wide as the tortilla was.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a hard-shell taco when it sits beside a hot dog — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
