Help! Are These Pizzas Really "Smurf-Sized"?



Last night at dinner, Dane told the boys these pizzas were "Smurf-sized". You know how I feel about accurate proportional reasoning, so I had to disagree with him. These pizzas have a diameter of about 6 cm and that seemed like it was the wrong size to me. Dane argued that no one can really know because we don't know how tall the smurfs are in the cartoon. I argued that we have plenty of benchmarks to judge the height of the smurfs. After all, Gargamel isn't a giant and he has a normal sized cat. Can you help us settle our debate? Here is a link to some very important research: Smurf Wiki and Smurf.com

  1. well the smurf people were like half as tall as the cat, so those pizzas look pretty big for the smurfs!!!
