The October 25, 2026 puzzle ran from an Ankylosaurus at 8 m to a Brachiosaurus at 22 m — about 3× apart, drawing on dinosaurs. The pair furthest apart was round 5: a Spinosaurus is 1.7× as big as a Triceratops.
Answer: Stegosaurus — 9 m. A Stegosaurus measures 9 m (length / span), which is about 1.2× smaller than the reference, an American school bus at 10.7 m.
A brain the size of a lime, in a body as long as a bus.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a Stegosaurus when it sits beside an American school bus — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Allosaurus — 8.5 m. An Allosaurus measures 8.5 m (length / span), which is about 1.1× smaller than the reference, a Stegosaurus at 9 m.
The common large predator of its day: far more Allosaurus fossils exist than T. rex ones.
Common miss: players tend to inflate an Allosaurus when it sits beside a Stegosaurus — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Ankylosaurus — 8 m. An Ankylosaurus measures 8 m (length / span), which is about 1.5× smaller than the reference, a Tyrannosaurus rex at 12.3 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 Tyrannosaurus rex — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Brachiosaurus — 22 m. A Brachiosaurus measures 22 m (length / span), which is about 1.1× smaller than the reference, a blue whale at 25 m.
Brachiosaurus held its neck upward, making it far taller than long-tailed sauropods of similar length.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a Brachiosaurus when it sits beside a blue whale — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Spinosaurus — 15 m. A Spinosaurus measures 15 m (length / span), which is 1.7× as big as the reference, a Triceratops at 9 m.
The longest predatory dinosaur known, and probably one that spent much of its life in water.
Common miss: players tend to compress a Spinosaurus when it sits beside a Triceratops — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
