Answer: a Diplodocus measures 25 m (length / span), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, a Brachiosaurus at 22 m.
Almost half of Diplodocus was tail, which may have cracked like a whip.
How people guessed: across 50 runs the typical guess was 24.4 m — almost exactly right.
Answer: an adult horse measures 2.4 m (length / span), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, a three-seat sofa at 2.2 m.
A riding horse is roughly as long as a dairy cow.
How people guessed: across 50 runs the typical guess was 2.4 m — almost exactly right.
Answer: a smartphone measures 14.7 cm (height), which is about 1.2× smaller than the reference, a stage microphone at 18 cm.
Phones stopped growing at roughly the limit of what a thumb can reach one-handed.
How people guessed: across 50 runs the typical guess was 15.4 cm — almost exactly right.
Answer: the Moon measures 3,474.8 km (length / span), which is about 1.2× smaller than the reference, Australia at 4,000 km.
The Moon’s mean diameter is about 3,475 kilometres.
How people guessed: across 50 runs the typical guess was 4,545.7 km — 31% too large. The most common miss is picturing the Moon far bigger than Australia really allows.
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.
How people guessed: across 50 runs the typical guess was 17.1 cm — 14% too large.
