The November 11, 2026 puzzle ran from a laptop computer at 35 cm to a server rack at 2 m — about 6× apart, drawing on technology. The pair furthest apart was round 2: a 55-inch television is about 1.8× smaller than a three-seat sofa.
Answer: Office Printer — 45 cm. An office printer measures 45 cm (length / span), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a computer keyboard at 44 cm.
Width is set by the paper path — A4 and Letter need the same clearance.
Common miss: players tend to compress an office printer when it sits beside a computer keyboard — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: 55-Inch Television — 1.2 m. A 55-inch television measures 1.2 m (length / span), which is about 1.8× smaller than the reference, a three-seat sofa at 2.2 m.
A 55-inch TV is 55 inches corner to corner; across the front it is only about 1.2 m.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a 55-inch television when it sits beside a three-seat sofa — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Server Rack — 2 m. A server rack measures 2 m (height), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a US interior door at 2 m.
