The November 8, 2026 puzzle ran from an apple at 8 cm to a large pizza at 35.6 cm — about 4× apart, drawing on food & drink. The pair furthest apart was round 5: a birthday cake is 1.7× as big as a hard-shell taco.
Answer: Large Pizza — 35.6 cm. A large pizza measures 35.6 cm (length / span), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a laptop computer at 35 cm.
A 14-inch large pizza measures 35.6 cm across.
Common miss: players tend to compress a large pizza 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 1.5× as big as the reference, a carrot at 20 cm.
Almost every 750 ml bottle is the same height, whatever the shape of its shoulders.
Common miss: players tend to compress a wine bottle when it sits beside a carrot — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Apple — 8 cm. An apple measures 8 cm (length / span), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a chocolate chip cookie at 8 cm.
Supermarket apples are graded by diameter, and 8 cm counts as a large one.
Common miss: players tend to inflate an apple when it sits beside a chocolate chip cookie — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Hard-Shell Taco — 15 cm. A hard-shell taco measures 15 cm (length / span), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a hot dog at 15 cm.
A hard shell is folded from a flat tortilla, so the shell is as wide as the tortilla was.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a hard-shell taco when it sits beside a hot dog — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Birthday Cake — 25 cm. A birthday cake measures 25 cm (length / span), which is 1.7× as big as the reference, a hard-shell taco at 15 cm.
A 25 cm round is the standard “serves twelve” size.
