The October 26, 2026 puzzle ran from Hawaiʻi Island at 150 km to Brazil at 4,320 km — about 29× apart, drawing on geography. The pair furthest apart was round 5: Hawaiʻi Island is about 6.7× smaller than metropolitan France.
ROUND 1
How wide is Australia compared with the contiguous United States?

Australia is nearly as wide as the contiguous United States, with a tenth of the population.
Common miss: players tend to inflate Australia when it sits beside the contiguous United States — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
