The October 24, 2026 puzzle ran from an emperor penguin at 1.1 m to a blue whale at 25 m — about 22× apart, drawing on animals. The pair furthest apart was round 4: a grizzly bear is about 1.2× smaller than an adult horse.
Answer: Emperor Penguin — 1.1 m. An emperor penguin measures 1.1 m (height), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, an acoustic guitar at 1 m.
The tallest living penguin reaches roughly 1.15 metres.
Common miss: players tend to compress an emperor penguin when it sits beside an acoustic guitar — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Bald Eagle Wingspan — 2.1 m. A bald eagle wingspan measures 2.1 m (length / span), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, a Velociraptor at 2 m.
A large bald eagle can spread its wings more than two metres wide.
Common miss: players tend to compress a bald eagle wingspan when it sits beside a Velociraptor — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: African Elephant — 6.5 m. An African elephant measures 6.5 m (length / span), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, a Pteranodon wingspan at 6 m.
A large bull elephant can stretch about 6.5 metres from trunk to tail.
Common miss: players tend to compress an African elephant when it sits beside a Pteranodon wingspan — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Grizzly Bear — 2 m. A grizzly bear measures 2 m (length / span), which is about 1.2× smaller than the reference, an adult horse at 2.4 m.
A grizzly can measure about two metres from nose to rump.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a grizzly bear when it sits beside an adult horse — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Blue Whale — 25 m. A blue whale measures 25 m (length / span), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a Diplodocus at 25 m.
A blue whale can be longer than a basketball court.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a blue whale when it sits beside a Diplodocus — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
