The October 13, 2026 puzzle ran from Manhattan Island at 21.6 km to Greenland at 2,670 km — about 124× apart, drawing on geography. The pair furthest apart was round 1: Manhattan Island is 12000× as big as a refrigerator.
Answer: Manhattan Island — 21.6 km. Manhattan Island measures 21.6 km (height), which is 12000× as big as the reference, a refrigerator at 1.8 m.
Manhattan is about 21.6 kilometres long.
Common miss: players tend to compress Manhattan Island when it sits beside a refrigerator — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: California — 1,240 km. California measures 1,240 km (height), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, Italy at 1,200 km.
California is roughly 1,240 kilometres from north to south.
Common miss: players tend to compress California when it sits beside Italy — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Great Britain — 1,000 km. Great Britain measures 1,000 km (height), which is about 1.2× smaller than the reference, California at 1,240 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 California — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Hawaiʻi Island — 150 km. Hawaiʻi Island measures 150 km (length / span), which is about 6.7× smaller than the reference, metropolitan France at 1,000 km.
The Big Island is larger than all the other Hawaiian islands combined, and still growing.
Common miss: players tend to inflate Hawaiʻi Island when it sits beside metropolitan France — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Greenland — 2,670 km. Greenland measures 2,670 km (height), which is 2.7× as big as the reference, Great Britain at 1,000 km.
The span is real, but Mercator maps still inflate Greenland’s area by about fourteen times.
Common miss: players tend to compress Greenland when it sits beside Great Britain — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
