The October 28, 2026 puzzle ran from an apple at 8 cm to Mars at 6,779 km — 7 orders of magnitude apart, drawing on food & drink, pokémon, space. The pair furthest apart was round 5: Mars is 1.7× as big as Australia.
Answer: Apple — 8 cm. An apple measures 8 cm (length / span), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a chocolate chip cookie at 8 cm.
Supermarket apples are graded by diameter, and 8 cm counts as a large one.
Common miss: players tend to inflate an apple when it sits beside a chocolate chip cookie — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Jumpluff — 80 cm. Jumpluff measures 80 cm (height), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, Sentret at 80 cm.
Jumpluff stands 80 cm tall and weighs 3 kg — a little taller than an alto saxophone (74 cm).
Common miss: players tend to inflate Jumpluff when it sits beside Sentret — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Pupitar — 1.2 m. Pupitar measures 1.2 m (height), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, Furfrou at 1.2 m.
Pupitar stands 1.2 m tall and weighs 152 kg — almost exactly the height of a cello (1.2 m).
Common miss: players tend to inflate Pupitar when it sits beside Furfrou — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Scizor — 1.8 m. Scizor measures 1.8 m (height), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, Crobat at 1.8 m.
Scizor stands 1.8 m tall and weighs 118 kg — almost exactly the height of a refrigerator (1.8 m).
Common miss: players tend to inflate Scizor when it sits beside Crobat — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Mars — 6,779 km. Mars measures 6,779 km (length / span), which is 1.7× as big as the reference, Australia at 4,000 km.
Mars is a little over half Earth’s diameter.
Common miss: players tend to compress Mars when it sits beside Australia — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
