The October 6, 2026 puzzle ran from a Velociraptor at 2 m to a Brachiosaurus at 22 m — about 11× apart, drawing on dinosaurs. The pair furthest apart was round 5: a Brachiosaurus is 1.8× as big as a Tyrannosaurus rex.
Answer: Velociraptor — 2 m. A Velociraptor measures 2 m (length / span), which is about 1.2× smaller than the reference, an adult horse at 2.4 m.
Real Velociraptors were closer to turkey-sized than movie monsters.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a Velociraptor when it sits beside an adult horse — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Pteranodon Wingspan — 6 m. A Pteranodon wingspan measures 6 m (length / span), which is about 1.5× smaller than the reference, a Triceratops at 9 m.
Measured across the wings — a span no living bird comes close to.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a Pteranodon wingspan when it sits beside a Triceratops — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Parasaurolophus — 9.5 m. A Parasaurolophus measures 9.5 m (length / span), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, a Stegosaurus at 9 m.
The hollow head crest may have worked like a trumpet.
Common miss: players tend to compress a Parasaurolophus when it sits beside a Stegosaurus — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Ankylosaurus — 8 m. An Ankylosaurus measures 8 m (length / span), which is 1.3× as big as the reference, a Pteranodon wingspan at 6 m.
The tail club weighed tens of kilos and could swing hard enough to break bone.
Common miss: players tend to compress an Ankylosaurus when it sits beside a Pteranodon wingspan — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Brachiosaurus — 22 m. A Brachiosaurus measures 22 m (length / span), which is 1.8× as big as the reference, a Tyrannosaurus rex at 12.3 m.
Brachiosaurus held its neck upward, making it far taller than long-tailed sauropods of similar length.
Common miss: players tend to compress a Brachiosaurus when it sits beside a Tyrannosaurus rex — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
