The October 24, 2026 puzzle ran from a Velociraptor at 2 m to an Iguanodon at 10 m — about 5× apart, drawing on dinosaurs. The pair furthest apart was round 5: a Stegosaurus is 1.5× as big as an American pickup truck.
Answer: Velociraptor — 2 m. A Velociraptor measures 2 m (length / span), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, a road bicycle at 1.8 m.
Real Velociraptors were closer to turkey-sized than movie monsters.
Common miss: players tend to compress a Velociraptor when it sits beside a road bicycle — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Ankylosaurus — 8 m. An Ankylosaurus measures 8 m (length / span), which is about 1.1× smaller than the reference, a Triceratops at 9 m.
The tail club weighed tens of kilos and could swing hard enough to break bone.
Common miss: players tend to inflate an Ankylosaurus when it sits beside a Triceratops — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Parasaurolophus — 9.5 m. A Parasaurolophus measures 9.5 m (length / span), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, a Stegosaurus at 9 m.
The hollow head crest may have worked like a trumpet.
Common miss: players tend to compress a Parasaurolophus when it sits beside a Stegosaurus — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Iguanodon — 10 m. An Iguanodon measures 10 m (length / span), which is about 1.2× smaller than the reference, a Tyrannosaurus rex at 12.3 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 a Tyrannosaurus rex — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Stegosaurus — 9 m. A Stegosaurus measures 9 m (length / span), which is 1.5× as big as the reference, an American pickup truck at 5.9 m.
A brain the size of a lime, in a body as long as a bus.
Common miss: players tend to compress a Stegosaurus when it sits beside an American pickup truck — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
