The October 18, 2026 puzzle ran from a watermelon at 40 cm to a Triceratops at 9 m — about 23× apart, drawing on dinosaurs, food & drink, pokémon. The pair furthest apart was round 2: a watermelon is 1.1× as big as a large pizza.
Answer: Triceratops — 9 m. A Triceratops measures 9 m (length / span), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a Stegosaurus at 9 m.
The skull alone could reach 2.5 m, among the largest of any land animal.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a Triceratops when it sits beside a Stegosaurus — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Watermelon — 40 cm. A watermelon measures 40 cm (length / span), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, a large pizza at 35.6 cm.
A whole watermelon is about 92% water, which accounts for most of its ten kilos.
Common miss: players tend to compress a watermelon when it sits beside a large pizza — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Avalugg — 2 m. Avalugg measures 2 m (height), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, Slowking at 2 m.
Avalugg stands 2 m tall and weighs 505 kg — almost exactly the height of a surfboard (2 m).
Common miss: players tend to inflate Avalugg when it sits beside Slowking — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Mantine — 2.1 m. Mantine measures 2.1 m (height), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, Entei at 2.1 m.
Mantine stands 2.1 m tall and weighs 220 kg — a little taller than a US interior door (2.03 m).
Common miss: players tend to inflate Mantine when it sits beside Entei — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Espeon — 90 cm. Espeon measures 90 cm (height), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, Octillery at 90 cm.
Espeon stands 90 cm tall and weighs 26.5 kg — almost exactly the height of a dining chair (90 cm).
Common miss: players tend to inflate Espeon when it sits beside Octillery — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
