The October 24, 2026 puzzle ran from an ice cream cone at 17 cm to a French baguette at 65 cm — about 4× apart, drawing on food & drink. The pair furthest apart was round 3: a wine bottle is about 1.3× smaller than a PlayStation 5.
Answer: Ice Cream Cone — 17 cm. An ice cream cone measures 17 cm (height), which is 1.2× as big as the reference, a smartphone at 14.7 cm.
Measured from the point to the top of the scoop, a cone stands taller than a soda can.
Common miss: players tend to compress an ice cream cone when it sits beside a smartphone — 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 laptop computer at 35 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 laptop computer — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Wine Bottle — 30 cm. A wine bottle measures 30 cm (height), which is about 1.3× smaller than the reference, a PlayStation 5 at 39 cm.
Almost every 750 ml bottle is the same height, whatever the shape of its shoulders.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a wine bottle when it sits beside a PlayStation 5 — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: French Baguette — 65 cm. A French baguette measures 65 cm (length / span), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a concert flute at 67 cm.
French law fixes the baguette’s ingredients rather than its length, but 65 cm is the custom.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a French baguette when it sits beside a concert flute — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Birthday Cake — 25 cm. A birthday cake measures 25 cm (length / span), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, an NBA basketball at 24.3 cm.
A 25 cm round is the standard “serves twelve” size.
Common miss: players tend to compress a birthday cake when it sits beside an NBA basketball — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
