The October 5, 2026 puzzle ran from a hot dog at 15 cm to a French baguette at 65 cm — about 4× apart, drawing on food & drink. The pair furthest apart was round 4: a watermelon is about 1.6× smaller than a French baguette.
Answer: Cheese Wheel — 36 cm. A cheese wheel measures 36 cm (length / span), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a large pizza at 35.6 cm.
A whole Parmigiano Reggiano wheel weighs close to 40 kg and ages for at least twelve months.
Common miss: players tend to compress a cheese wheel when it sits beside a large pizza — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: French Baguette — 65 cm. A French baguette measures 65 cm (length / span), which is 1.4× as big as the reference, a domestic cat at 46 cm.
French law fixes the baguette’s ingredients rather than its length, but 65 cm is the custom.
