The October 28, 2026 puzzle ran from Manhattan Island at 21.6 km to Africa at 8,000 km — about 370× apart, drawing on geography. The pair furthest apart was round 2: Hawaiʻi Island is 2500000× as big as a house key.
Answer: Texas — 1,270 km. Texas measures 1,270 km (length / span), which is 1.3× as big as the reference, metropolitan France at 1,000 km.
Texas stretches about 1,270 kilometres east to west.
Common miss: players tend to compress Texas when it sits beside metropolitan France — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Hawaiʻi Island — 150 km. Hawaiʻi Island measures 150 km (length / span), which is 2500000× as big as the reference, a house key at 6 cm.
The Big Island is larger than all the other Hawaiian islands combined, and still growing.
Common miss: players tend to compress Hawaiʻi Island when it sits beside a house key — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Brazil — 4,320 km. Brazil measures 4,320 km (length / span), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, Australia at 4,000 km.
Brazil is almost exactly as wide as it is tall — roughly 4,300 km either way.
Common miss: players tend to compress Brazil when it sits beside Australia — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Manhattan Island — 21.6 km. Manhattan Island measures 21.6 km (height), which is 120000× as big as the reference, a stage microphone at 18 cm.
Manhattan is about 21.6 kilometres long.
Common miss: players tend to compress Manhattan Island when it sits beside a stage microphone — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Africa — 8,000 km. Africa measures 8,000 km (height), which is 3× as big as the reference, Greenland at 2,670 km.
Africa spans roughly 8,000 kilometres from north to south.
Common miss: players tend to compress Africa when it sits beside Greenland — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
