The October 6, 2026 puzzle ran from a soda can at 12.2 cm to a three-seat sofa at 2.2 m — about 18× apart, drawing on everyday. The pair furthest apart was round 5: a paperback book is 1.6× as big as a soda can.
Answer: Bathtub — 1.7 m. A bathtub measures 1.7 m (length / span), which is about 1.2× smaller than the reference, a queen bed at 2 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 queen bed — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Dining Chair — 90 cm. A dining chair measures 90 cm (height), which is 1.5× as big as the reference, a violin at 59 cm.
Chair dimensions are standardised around the table: 45 cm to the seat, 90 cm to the top of the back.
Common miss: players tend to compress a dining chair when it sits beside a violin — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Three-Seat Sofa — 2.2 m. A three-seat sofa measures 2.2 m (length / span), which is about 1.1× smaller than the reference, an adult horse at 2.4 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 an adult horse — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Soda Can — 12.2 cm. A soda can measures 12.2 cm (height), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, a light bulb at 11 cm.
The 330 ml can has kept essentially the same silhouette since 1963.
