The November 10, 2026 puzzle ran from a smartwatch at 4.5 cm to a 55-inch television at 1.2 m — about 27× apart, drawing on technology. The pair furthest apart was round 3: a smartwatch is about 2.1× smaller than a coffee mug.
Answer: Camera Drone — 35 cm. A camera drone measures 35 cm (length / span), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a laptop computer at 35 cm.
Measured diagonally between motors, the dimension most drone regulations use.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a camera drone when it sits beside a laptop computer — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.

The largest home console ever sold, almost entirely because of its cooling.
