The October 15, 2026 puzzle ran from a trumpet at 48 cm to a concert harp at 1.9 m — about 4× apart, drawing on music. The pair furthest apart was round 4: a cello is 1.2× as big as an acoustic guitar.
Answer: Trumpet — 48 cm. A trumpet measures 48 cm (length / span), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, a computer keyboard at 44 cm.
About 1.5 m of tubing, wrapped into 48 cm of instrument.
Common miss: players tend to compress a trumpet when it sits beside a computer keyboard — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Concert Flute — 67 cm. A concert flute measures 67 cm (length / span), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a French baguette at 65 cm.
Played sideways, which makes its 67 cm read much smaller on stage.
Common miss: players tend to compress a concert flute when it sits beside a French baguette — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Double Bass — 1.8 m. A double bass measures 1.8 m (height), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a refrigerator at 1.8 m.
Tall enough that players either stand or perch on a stool.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a double bass when it sits beside a refrigerator — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Cello — 1.2 m. A cello measures 1.2 m (height), which is 1.2× as big as the reference, an acoustic guitar at 1 m.
The body accounts for about 76 cm — the rest is neck and endpin.
Common miss: players tend to compress a cello when it sits beside an acoustic guitar — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Concert Harp — 1.9 m. A concert harp measures 1.9 m (height), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, a hockey stick at 1.6 m.
Forty-seven strings holding close to a tonne of combined tension.
Common miss: players tend to compress a concert harp when it sits beside a hockey stick — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
