DAILY NO. 20 · VERIFIED MEASUREMENTS
The five space objects from the Size It Up puzzle on October 11, 2026, with the measured size of each, the reference it was compared against, a source you can check, and how the community's guesses landed. Want the surprise first? Replay this puzzle — archived days never touch your streak.
The October 11, 2026 puzzle ran from a Saturn V rocket at 110.6 m to the Sun at 1,392,700 km — 7 orders of magnitude apart, drawing on space. The pair furthest apart was round 2: the Sun is 795828571× as big as a road bicycle.
Answer: The Moon — 3,474.8 km. The Moon measures 3,474.8 km (length / span), which is about 1.2× smaller than the reference, Brazil at 4,320 km.
The Moon’s mean diameter is about 3,475 kilometres.
Common miss: players tend to inflate the Moon when it sits beside Brazil — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: The Sun — 1,392,700 km. The Sun measures 1,392,700 km (length / span), which is 795828571× as big as the reference, a road bicycle at 1.8 m.
The Sun is about 1.39 million kilometres in diameter.
Common miss: players tend to compress the Sun when it sits beside a road bicycle — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Saturn V Rocket — 110.6 m. A Saturn V rocket measures 110.6 m (height), which is 1.2× as big as the reference, the Statue of Liberty at 93 m.
Saturn V stood taller than the Statue of Liberty without its pedestal.
Common miss: players tend to compress a Saturn V rocket when it sits beside the Statue of Liberty — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Starship Launch Stack — 121 m. A Starship launch stack measures 121 m (height), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, a Saturn V rocket at 110.6 m.
The complete Starship launch stack is about 121 metres tall.
Common miss: players tend to compress a Starship launch stack when it sits beside a Saturn V rocket — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Mars — 6,779 km. Mars measures 6,779 km (length / span), which is 1.7× as big as the reference, Australia at 4,000 km.
Mars is a little over half Earth’s diameter.
Common miss: players tend to compress Mars when it sits beside Australia — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
