Objects grouped by how big they are
Seven pages, 68 objects. Each one takes a round figure, keeps every object in the measurement set that lands within a fifth of it, and draws them together at a single scale. Five of the pages are heights and two are lengths, and the two are never mixed: an animal quoted nose to tail and a tower quoted from the ground up are not answering the same question.

How the lists were built
The band with the most in it is things that are 1 metre tall, 13 objects, and the tightest is things that are 1 metre tall, where the smallest and the largest are only 1.32 times apart. Between them the 7 pages carry 390 appearances from the daily game, so none of these lists is a shelf of objects nobody has seen.
An object appears on a band page only if the set records one real measurement for it on one stated axis, and only if that record agrees with itself. Where two entries carry the same silhouette under two names, one of them is dropped rather than listed twice, and where a figure is contradicted elsewhere in our own data the object waits until the contradiction is settled. A band needs at least eight objects on the same axis to earn a page, which is why the list stops where it does rather than running on to every round number.
