The October 26, 2026 puzzle ran from a hamburger at 10 cm to a French baguette at 65 cm — about 7× apart, drawing on food & drink. The pair furthest apart was round 1: a French baguette is 1.4× as big as a domestic cat.
Answer: French Baguette — 65 cm. A French baguette measures 65 cm (length / span), which is 1.4× as big as the reference, a domestic cat at 46 cm.
French law fixes the baguette’s ingredients rather than its length, but 65 cm is the custom.
Common miss: players tend to compress a French baguette when it sits beside a domestic cat — 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 large pizza at 35.6 cm.
A whole watermelon is about 92% water, which accounts for most of its ten kilos.

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: Hamburger — 10 cm. A hamburger measures 10 cm (length / span), which is 1.3× as big as the reference, a chocolate chip cookie at 8 cm.
A patty shrinks by about a quarter on the grill, which is why the bun always looks oversized.

Answer: Carrot — 20 cm. A carrot measures 20 cm (height), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, a stage microphone at 18 cm.
Supermarket carrots are pulled young — left in the ground they keep growing.
