The November 8, 2026 puzzle ran from an emperor penguin at 1.1 m to a blue whale at 25 m — about 22× apart, drawing on animals. The pair furthest apart was round 4: an adult orca is about 1.2× smaller than a Triceratops.
Answer: Dairy Cow — 2.4 m. A dairy cow measures 2.4 m (length / span), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, a three-seat sofa at 2.2 m.
A full-grown dairy cow can be roughly 2.4 metres long.
Common miss: players tend to compress a dairy cow when it sits beside a three-seat sofa — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Emperor Penguin — 1.1 m. An emperor penguin measures 1.1 m (height), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, an acoustic guitar at 1 m.
The tallest living penguin reaches roughly 1.15 metres.
Common miss: players tend to compress an emperor penguin when it sits beside an acoustic guitar — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Blue Whale — 25 m. A blue whale measures 25 m (length / span), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a Diplodocus at 25 m.
A blue whale can be longer than a basketball court.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a blue whale when it sits beside a Diplodocus — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Adult Orca — 7.5 m. An adult orca measures 7.5 m (length / span), which is about 1.2× smaller than the reference, a Triceratops at 9 m.
Adult male orcas can grow beyond eight metres.
Common miss: players tend to inflate an adult orca when it sits beside a Triceratops — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Grizzly Bear — 2 m. A grizzly bear measures 2 m (length / span), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a queen bed at 2 m.
A grizzly can measure about two metres from nose to rump.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a grizzly bear when it sits beside a queen bed — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
