The October 28, 2026 puzzle ran from an apple at 8 cm to a French baguette at 65 cm — about 8× apart, drawing on food & drink. The pair furthest apart was round 3: a French baguette is about 1.4× smaller than a golden retriever.
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.
Common miss: players tend to compress a watermelon when it sits beside a large pizza — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Apple — 8 cm. An apple measures 8 cm (length / span), which is 1.3× as big as the reference, a house key at 6 cm.
Supermarket apples are graded by diameter, and 8 cm counts as a large one.
Common miss: players tend to compress an apple when it sits beside a house key — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: French Baguette — 65 cm. A French baguette measures 65 cm (length / span), which is about 1.4× smaller than the reference, a golden retriever at 94 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 golden retriever — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Cheese Wheel — 36 cm. A cheese wheel measures 36 cm (length / span), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a laptop computer at 35 cm.
A whole Parmigiano Reggiano wheel weighs close to 40 kg and ages for at least twelve months.
Common miss: players tend to compress a cheese wheel 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.
