The October 23, 2026 puzzle ran from a Stegosaurus at 9 m to an Argentinosaurus at 33 m — about 4× apart, drawing on dinosaurs. The pair furthest apart was round 5: a Parasaurolophus is about 1.3× smaller than a Tyrannosaurus rex.

ROUND 1

How long is an Iguanodon compared with an American school bus?

Answer: Iguanodon — 10 m. An Iguanodon measures 10 m (length / span), which is about 1.1× smaller than the reference, an American school bus at 10.7 m.

Its thumb spike was first reconstructed, wrongly, as a horn on the nose.

Common miss: players tend to inflate an Iguanodon when it sits beside an American school bus — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
