The October 10, 2026 puzzle ran from a grizzly bear at 2 m to an adult giraffe at 5.2 m — about 3× apart, drawing on animals. The pair furthest apart was round 1: an adult giraffe is 1.7× as big as a basketball hoop.
Answer: Adult Giraffe — 5.2 m. An adult giraffe measures 5.2 m (height), which is 1.7× as big as the reference, a basketball hoop at 3 m.
Adult giraffes commonly stand between 4.5 and 5.5 metres tall.
Common miss: players tend to compress an adult giraffe when it sits beside a basketball hoop — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Bald Eagle Wingspan — 2.1 m. A bald eagle wingspan measures 2.1 m (length / span), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a three-seat sofa at 2.2 m.
A large bald eagle can spread its wings more than two metres wide.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a bald eagle wingspan when it sits beside a three-seat sofa — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Dairy Cow — 2.4 m. A dairy cow measures 2.4 m (length / span), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, an adult horse at 2.4 m.
A full-grown dairy cow can be roughly 2.4 metres long.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a dairy cow when it sits beside an adult horse — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Grizzly Bear — 2 m. A grizzly bear measures 2 m (length / span), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a Velociraptor at 2 m.
A grizzly can measure about two metres from nose to rump.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a grizzly bear when it sits beside a Velociraptor — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Hippopotamus — 3.5 m. A hippopotamus measures 3.5 m (length / span), which is 1.3× as big as the reference, a concert grand piano at 2.7 m.
A hippo can reach 3.5 metres despite its compact silhouette.
Common miss: players tend to compress a hippopotamus when it sits beside a concert grand piano — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
