The October 31, 2026 puzzle ran from a leafcutter ant at 1.3 cm to a concert grand piano at 2.7 m — about 211× apart, drawing on insects & bugs, music, pokémon. The pair furthest apart was round 1: a leafcutter ant is about 1.2× smaller than a honey bee.
Answer: Leafcutter Ant — 1.3 cm. A leafcutter ant measures 1.3 cm (length / span), which is about 1.2× smaller than the reference, a honey bee at 1.5 cm.
Leafcutters routinely carry many times their own body weight.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a leafcutter ant when it sits beside a honey bee — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Concert Grand Piano — 2.7 m. A concert grand piano measures 2.7 m (length / span), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, an adult horse at 2.4 m.
A concert grand can be more than 2.7 metres long.
Common miss: players tend to compress a concert grand piano when it sits beside an adult horse — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Swinub — 40 cm. Swinub measures 40 cm (height), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, Chespin at 40 cm.
Swinub stands 40 cm tall and weighs 6.5 kg — almost exactly the height of a PlayStation 5 (39 cm).
Common miss: players tend to inflate Swinub when it sits beside Chespin — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Bellossom — 40 cm. Bellossom measures 40 cm (height), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, Wooper at 40 cm.
Bellossom stands 40 cm tall and weighs 5.8 kg — almost exactly the height of a PlayStation 5 (39 cm).
Common miss: players tend to inflate Bellossom when it sits beside Wooper — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
