The October 11, 2026 puzzle ran from Great Britain at 1,000 km to Africa at 8,000 km — about 8× apart, drawing on geography. The pair furthest apart was round 3: Africa is 3× as big as Greenland.
Answer: Great Britain — 1,000 km. Great Britain measures 1,000 km (height), which is about 1.2× smaller than the reference, Italy at 1,200 km.
About the straight-line distance from Land’s End to John o’ Groats.
Common miss: players tend to inflate Great Britain when it sits beside Italy — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Metropolitan France — 1,000 km. Metropolitan France measures 1,000 km (length / span), which is about 1.3× smaller than the reference, Texas at 1,270 km.
Metropolitan France is nicknamed the Hexagon; no side of it runs much beyond 1,000 km.
Common miss: players tend to inflate metropolitan France when it sits beside Texas — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Africa — 8,000 km. Africa measures 8,000 km (height), which is 3× as big as the reference, Greenland at 2,670 km.
Africa spans roughly 8,000 kilometres from north to south.
Common miss: players tend to compress Africa when it sits beside Greenland — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: California — 1,240 km. California measures 1,240 km (height), which is 1.2× as big as the reference, Great Britain at 1,000 km.
California is roughly 1,240 kilometres from north to south.
