The November 7, 2026 puzzle ran from a ladybird beetle at 1 cm to the Golden Gate Bridge at 2.7 km — 5 orders of magnitude apart, drawing on landmarks, insects & bugs, food & drink, space, animals. The pair furthest apart was round 1: the Golden Gate Bridge is 3183× as big as a baseball bat.
Answer: Golden Gate Bridge — 2.7 km. The Golden Gate Bridge measures 2.7 km (length / span), which is 3183× as big as the reference, a baseball bat at 86 cm.
The full bridge is 2.737 kilometres from abutment to abutment.
Common miss: players tend to compress the Golden Gate Bridge when it sits beside a baseball bat — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Ladybird Beetle — 1 cm. A ladybird beetle measures 1 cm (length / span), which is about 1.5× smaller than the reference, a mosquito at 1.5 cm.
One ladybird can eat several thousand aphids in a lifetime.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a ladybird beetle when it sits beside a mosquito — 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: Starship Launch Stack — 121 m. A Starship launch stack measures 121 m (height), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, a Saturn V rocket at 110.6 m.
The complete Starship launch stack is about 121 metres tall.
Common miss: players tend to compress a Starship launch stack when it sits beside a Saturn V rocket — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Bald Eagle Wingspan — 2.1 m. A bald eagle wingspan measures 2.1 m (length / span), which is 1.2× as big as the reference, a road bicycle at 1.8 m.
A large bald eagle can spread its wings more than two metres wide.
Common miss: players tend to compress a bald eagle wingspan when it sits beside a road bicycle — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
