The October 23, 2026 puzzle ran from a violin at 59 cm to a cello at 1.2 m — about 2× apart, drawing on music. The pair furthest apart was round 5: a violin is 1.5× as big as a PlayStation 5.
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: Trombone — 90 cm. A trombone measures 90 cm (length / span), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a baseball bat at 86 cm.
Measured closed — running the slide out to seventh position adds more than half a metre.
Common miss: players tend to compress a trombone when it sits beside a baseball bat — 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.
