The October 16, 2026 puzzle ran from a hamburger at 10 cm to a Tyrannosaurus rex at 12.3 m — about 123× apart, drawing on food & drink, pokémon, dinosaurs. The pair furthest apart was round 4: a Tyrannosaurus rex is 1.1× as big as an American school bus.
Answer: Hamburger — 10 cm. A hamburger measures 10 cm (length / span), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a monarch butterfly at 10 cm.
A patty shrinks by about a quarter on the grill, which is why the bun always looks oversized.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a hamburger when it sits beside a monarch butterfly — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Natu — 20 cm. Natu measures 20 cm (height), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, Dedenne at 20 cm.
Natu stands 20 cm tall and weighs 2 kg — almost exactly the height of a paperback book (20 cm).
Common miss: players tend to inflate Natu when it sits beside Dedenne — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Ampharos — 1.4 m. Ampharos measures 1.4 m (height), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, Hitmontop at 1.4 m.
Ampharos stands 1.4 m tall and weighs 61.5 kg — a little taller than a cello (1.2 m).
Common miss: players tend to inflate Ampharos when it sits beside Hitmontop — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Tyrannosaurus rex — 12.3 m. A Tyrannosaurus rex measures 12.3 m (length / span), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, an American school bus at 10.7 m.
A large T. rex reached around 12.3 metres long.
Common miss: players tend to compress a Tyrannosaurus rex when it sits beside an American school bus — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Typhlosion — 1.7 m. Typhlosion measures 1.7 m (height), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, Noctowl at 1.6 m.
Typhlosion stands 1.7 m tall and weighs 79.5 kg — a little taller than a hockey stick (1.65 m).
Common miss: players tend to compress Typhlosion when it sits beside Noctowl — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
