The October 11, 2026 puzzle ran from an American bullfrog at 15 cm to a blue whale at 25 m — about 167× apart, drawing on animals. The pair furthest apart was round 1: a blue whale is 2× as big as a Tyrannosaurus rex.
Answer: Blue Whale — 25 m. A blue whale measures 25 m (length / span), which is 2× as big as the reference, a Tyrannosaurus rex at 12.3 m.
A blue whale can be longer than a basketball court.
Common miss: players tend to compress a blue whale when it sits beside a Tyrannosaurus rex — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Emperor Penguin — 1.1 m. An emperor penguin measures 1.1 m (height), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, an acoustic guitar at 1 m.
The tallest living penguin reaches roughly 1.15 metres.
Common miss: players tend to compress an emperor penguin when it sits beside an acoustic guitar — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: American Bullfrog — 15 cm. An American bullfrog measures 15 cm (length / span), which is about 1.1× smaller than the reference, a game controller at 16 cm.
A large bullfrog can be almost as long as a modern phone.
Common miss: players tend to inflate an American bullfrog when it sits beside a game controller — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: African Elephant — 6.5 m. An African elephant measures 6.5 m (length / span), which is about 1.4× smaller than the reference, a Stegosaurus at 9 m.
A large bull elephant can stretch about 6.5 metres from trunk to tail.
Common miss: players tend to inflate an African elephant when it sits beside a Stegosaurus — 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.
