The November 11, 2026 puzzle ran from the Apollo Lunar Module at 6.9 m to the Sun at 1,392,700 km — 8 orders of magnitude apart, drawing on space. The pair furthest apart was round 1: the Sun is 401× as big as the Moon.
Answer: The Sun — 1,392,700 km. The Sun measures 1,392,700 km (length / span), which is 401× as big as the reference, the Moon at 3,474.8 km.
The Sun is about 1.39 million kilometres in diameter.
Common miss: players tend to compress the Sun when it sits beside the Moon — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Apollo Lunar Module — 6.9 m. The Apollo Lunar Module measures 6.9 m (height), which is 1.3× as big as the reference, an adult giraffe at 5.2 m.
It stood about as tall as a two-storey house, and only the top half ever came back.
Common miss: players tend to compress the Apollo Lunar Module when it sits beside an adult giraffe — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Saturn — 116,460 km. Saturn measures 116,460 km (length / span), which is about 1.2× smaller than the reference, Jupiter at 139,820 km.
Saturn is more than nine times wider than Earth.
Common miss: players tend to inflate Saturn when it sits beside Jupiter — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Jupiter — 139,820 km. Jupiter measures 139,820 km (length / span), which is 1.2× as big as the reference, Saturn at 116,460 km.
Jupiter is almost eleven times wider than Earth.
Common miss: players tend to compress Jupiter when it sits beside Saturn — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Earth — 12,742 km. Earth measures 12,742 km (length / span), which is 2.9× as big as the reference, Brazil at 4,320 km.
Earth is about 12,742 kilometres across.
Common miss: players tend to compress Earth when it sits beside Brazil — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
