Guys remember Rob is like 5'8 1/8 at his low so Mamun being shorter could still put Mamun at 5'8 flat.
Physics, gotta ask Mamun to post the pics again.

Yeah I remember the pics, Mamun looked like a true 5'8" in them next to Alex.

I don't wish to offend Mamun, I like him and think he's a good guy, but I think he's 5' 7.75". He's a bit shorter than Rob, as Alex confirms. I think by a solid 1cm, which puts Mamun at 5' 7.75".

Editor Rob if Mamun measured 5ft 8.75 out of bed, I think that's a good call for being a 5ft 8er!

Actually i'm surprised more people didn't guess #10 taller
If i had to choose between 6'0 and 6'1 i would go with 6'1
There isnt that much difference between #8 and #10
Only that rob goes abit under his eyes and that he's muscular can give that illusion ;=) which is why it wont always favor you to compare the previous challenges.

Editor Rob it was hard enough getting #10 to do it, let alone try to get both :)
both are the heights measured after being told to stand tall again for the measurement.
nobody is going to go on celebheights being undermeasured ;) Well apart from G of course.

Physics, not sure if you seen the pics of me Mamun and Frank? Mamun did look 5'8 in person and his pics with us though 5'7.75 to 5'8 would be hard to tell anyway. I felt he was a smidge shorter than Rob though.
Thanx I feel I am pretty good at estimating height on here but this last challenge fell in favor of me though :) Maybe next challenger will be in the 5'9.5-5'10 range for you?

I am still confused by no.8, he looks too tall for his measurement. If no.8 and no.10 stood next to each other, how would the difference look, I'm guessing more than 1" which is the actual difference. Still baffled by no.8.

@ Alex, no man if you tilt your head a bit you won't lose much height as the back of your skull come up a bit to even things up. You probably look shorter to someone of similar height if they compare height using eye-levels but the top of the head should stay constant in height when one tilts his/her head.

johno - I'm not convinced, Rob's head is just under his eyebrow. That's 0.5"-0.6" from the middle of the eye. If he had a 4.5" eye-level, then one may well expect less than 4 inch between Rob and #10. I thought the cam may be adding 1-2 mm, so I went for 182.7. #8 looks WAY taller than #10.
Also, Rob showed #10's eye-level was 12.1 cm. That's 4.764" (still quite high).

As i said before, this guy could not possibly be guessed below 6'0. Rob has drawn that line right on top of his hair, and it cuts the guys eyebrows but some still some appear over the line. If rob were to slightly lower the line, the difference between his eyeline ie middle of his eyes and the line would not be over 0.5 inches ie this guys forehead is around 4.6-7 inches, very normal - Slightly larger then alex's

Editor Rob if you tilt your head up a little, your eyelevel would be near 5ft 8.
Imagine you had a true 5 inch eyelevel, you probably wouldn't feel as tall compared to near 4.5.

Wow, I was way off this time. I'm still puzzled as to why the guy Challenge #8 is only 1.1 inches taller than the one in Ch #10, yet he looks to a lot taller. Maybe the relative head sizes of each guy play a part in the overall height impression.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah I feel the same. The difference between the participant no.8 & 10 seems bigger then the actual measurement suggests. This shows size/proportions can really influence how tall or short a person looks.

Rob I was only going by your diagram (how it looks). Top of your head runs over his eyebrow. So 0.8" from eyebrow to mid-eye, so 0.8 + 4.25 = 5.05". I know Alex is tilting, but I was only looking at the left pic to gauge it.

The person should be standing tall for their measurement as long as their head isn't too tilted up or they're stretching to gain height.
If that guys eye level is 4.7 from his head than I doubt mine even reaches 4.5 inches. Probably more like 4.25 inches is all

Physics, yea most would have thought this challenger was 6'0 flat because Rob came to his eyebrow which would not even a 4 inch difference but his longer forehead threw it off a bit but because he was VERY similar height as me and I noticed his forehead was above average length so I guess I had an advantage :)

So #10's eye-level is over 5" then, since eyebrow to middle of eye is about 0.8". 0.8 + 4.25 = 5.05". That's amazing; so I was actually bang on then, based on my (incorrect) assumption of him having a relatively normal eye-level.
This may be why Billy Zane is way taller than he looks, due to a huge forehead. His eye-level makes him look a weak 5' 11" (though he's still overlisted IMO!).

Editor Rob not sure where you get this 'big forehead' thing, Alex is slightly tilted up reducing his own.
I took the shot of #10 being measured using portrait mode, so the camera is on it's side and the flash is on the same level as the lense, so In the photo you can see the flash (and thus lense) is in the 170-171 range which was very near his pupil, which is about 172cm.
that's pretty much what it looked to me, his eyelevel in the 4.7 inch range.
And his head is pretty typically 9.5 inches aswell.

Wrong johno, top of Rob's head goes along #10's eyebrow; see Rob's pic with Alex compared with #10. He has a massively long forehead giving 184 cm. His eye-level is lower than Alex's who was 183.3 cm (stadiometer). He 'looks' barely 6ft.

lol, something is clearly wrong here, the dude from height challenge # 8 is more than just a mere 2.8cm taller than this dude here (he was a good 4-5cm taller than this dude base on pictures alone). Maybe because it is Rob's posture and the way the pictures was taken.

As Rob's comparison pic with Alex shows, the top of Rob's head runs past challenger #10's eyebrow. That's one huge forehead on him. His eye-level is well under Alex's, who is well under 184 cm himself. You'd think this guy was 183 cm MAX, likely below. It's all about that massive forehead boosting him.

Editor Rob actually the 2mm error is never mentioned, and I tell people roughly.
like #2 'you're almost 6ft 1.5', number 5 'nearly 6ft 2.5' etc...most like to know in feet/inches. Forget telling people to the mm, that is for the challenge itself ;)

I've had another look and I definitely undercut him. This might sound odd, but I think the inflated listings on celeb pages has made me a bit cynical and almost 'trying' to see this tall kid as lower. 184 is still a stretch though.
I'll be back, I'll be top of the board at the end. Whatever it takes.

Mamun is 0.5" shorter than Rob, that I am certain of, I've seen enough pics of them (even next to the same celeb) and Rob is usually taller. Mamun always stands bolt upright though. On Mamun's height proof pic he's under the 5' 8" mark and the camera is adding a small fraction too. He's a weak 5' 7.75.

Alex, perhaps it's because his posture is worse? You're standing straighter than him it seems. He may have stood taller under the stadiometer. He has a G T-shirt on, must have learnt all the height tricks from G. Sal must have carried him on a stretcher for the morning height measure, rather than facing the under 6ft reality. Maybe Sal did the same with you Alex? You're 5' 11", I knew it! ;-)

He has a G T-shirt on, must have learnt all the height tricks from G. Sal must have carried him on a stretcher for the morning height measure, rather than facing the under 6ft reality. Maybe Sal did the same with you Alex? You're 5' 11", I knew it! ;-)

That comparison pic with Alex is interesting, he's taller than Alex, yes. That's one deceptively long forehead (and an odd head shape it seems). Alex has a fairly high eye level, though he is raising it a bit too.
I wish I had that pic with Alex beforehand, though it would have killed the height challenge. Alex did have an unfair advantage in this challenge. :-(

Sorry Rob I said that passively, I realised he's bang on 184, the low camera angle makes it look a bit above it of course. You've totally mind boggled me with this volunteer, I can't believe he's 184. :-|

I agree Shaun, draw a line across the top of Rob's head, it's around the volunteer's eyebrow. The camera shot is quite low so I knocked off 2-3 mm for that too. Amazing he's over 183. Challenger 8 destroys him at 186.8 cm. Very strange. This has thrown me right off. I logically see how all the volunteers measured what they did, but not #8 or #10.

Editor Rob I thought I'd done it, but see my post didn't work.
anyway, This comparison is based on the heads of me at the same size.
But both photos are with different lenses and at different distance, so it looks like maybe a couple extra mm more than it should, in reality the difference is 0.3 inch.

Wow, I was way off this time. I'm still puzzled as to why the guy Challenge #8 is only 1.1 inches taller than the one in Ch #10, yet he looks to a lot taller. Maybe the relative head sizes of each guy play a part in the overall height impression.

Editor Rob Physics, the red line was 100% not above the 184 mark, trust me :)
See these 2 images to understand why. The bar in both photos hasn't been touched. Photo on the right you can see the shot is taken dead on and the red mark is right on the 184cm mark.
The left shot is 5 inches below the bar and because of the angle the red line 'looks' between 184-184.1 when it's bang on 184.

Alex, his actual eye isn't that close to the top of Rob's head, but his pupil is at the top part of his eye making his eye level appear 2mm more. Also, I think the low position of the camera makes the difference seem 2-3 mm more than it is. 182.7 is 5' 11.93".
Rob - I think you should let the winner change at least one listing on the site. If they're the 'Height Master', why not decide one of the listings?

Physics, this is the first challenge where the person is right in my height range so it should be easier for me, plus I was comparing the picture with me and Rob's picture and it does appear he edges me out but barely. I feel my 6'0 3/8 guess was good but really could be anywhere from 6'0 to 6'0.5 max. We'll just have to wait and see! 182.7cm would be what 5'11 7/8?

Kristen, and its common for many girls in the 4'11-5'1 range to claim 5'2. I seen a lot of girls 5'0 to 5'1 max claim 5'2. Its usually easy for me to tell that range because 5'2.5-5'2.75 is at the bottom of my chin (9.5 inch head).

Physics, that sounds fair to maybe change the height of any celeb of their choice and who would you pick anyway to change?
That sounds pretty interesting. I think how I would do that if I was Rob would be you have an inch worth of liberty to change heights. You could up/down-grade 1 celeb an inch, up/down-grade 2 celebs both .5" or .25" and .75", up/down-grade 3 celebs 1 @ .5" and 2 @ .25" up/down-grade 4 celebs .25" etc. Just a thought, I've only participated in 3 of the height challenges, I had pretty good guesses but it's not like I'm in the running. If I had such power in my hands (sound thunder) off the top of my head some people that I'd consider would be Clooney, Dicaprio, and Cruise.

Like Alex said, many girls think that they're taller than they really are. I learned that when I worked at a doctor's office. Some girls, who thought they were around 5'2, were shocked when I measured them at around the same height as the volunteer in this week's contest.

Tough one Alex. If Rob opened the Glenn page, I'd list him 5' 6.5" (169 cm). Otherwise a coin-toss between Stallone and Pitt. Stallone at 5' 7.25" peak/5' 6.75" today may be more interesting. Bieber's not 5' 5" (he's 5' 3"), but I'm less fussed. I could also downgrade you to 5' 11". ;-)

The overall winner at the end i.e.) whenever Rob decides to end this, should be allowed to change the height of any one celeb of his/her choice. It's only fair, since they've proved they're a height expert. They should also get another perk e.g.) have their username in coloured font and a little crown next to it. :-)

Rob you must admit you're a bit generous with estimating heights, you always estimate a little higher than they are. Just look at all your estimates for the 9 volunteers, it's always a bit higher than the real height. This likely means your estimates for celebs are a bit high, which is majority opinion on those pages.

Editor Rob I think 'about 5ft' for an in person estimate of the girl is pretty close. I think in 1/4 inches and ranges.
You can think in mm's using photos of course, but nobody can guess every person they meet to the 1/4 inch, although if you ask Jenny, for the people I've measured she is surprised how good I can guess.
Some of these challenges I've not mentioned what I actually thought they were and about 10 of the heights people have told me from doing these challenges I've disagreed on and been within the 1/4 inch guess ;)

So 6' 2" midday with low/moderate activity is possible. If Rob was a plumber and toiled for 9/10 hours he would dip below his usual low. I wouldn't call it true height, but that's what would happen.

From now on I'm going to ask Rob the height the pics were taken, since it clearly makes a difference. Though if you have a good eye, it should be obvious whether it was taken low, medium or high.
Rob - Higher cam positions reduce perceived height differences, lower cam positions exaggerate perceived height differences. Is that correct?
Legend - If I didn't miss the first two challenges I'd be in 1st place. Soon I will be. I will be the greatest height expert of all time. :-)
Editor Rob
I think in challenge 8 the vertical shot added at least half an inch to his perceived height. The end of his nose is more 5ft 7.5 range rather than 8.25 range.

Congrats Alex! I've noticed that with each challenge you've been getting closer and closer. I predict you'll be taking 1st place on the leaderboards soon if you keep this up!

Rob I've been very close , we're talking mm out with most of the challenges so far and I still don't have 10 points.
----------------------------------------
Same here, The most I've been out is 1.5cm on one challenge and within 1cm, so we're talking mm's out on the rest of the challenges and I've never made top 5. For these challenges it seems that if you aren't within 5mm, you won't even make top 5.

Well, that's very surprising, but he's even shorter than that in truth, like 186.5-186.6, since the stadiometer adds 2-3mm of height as Rob sayed.
He can for sure pass as a strong 6'2 guy however!

I thought he looked 5.5" inches taller than Rob and was going to guess him at 6'1.5" but I factored in Rob's .25" of an inch over 5'8" so I guessed this guy at 6'1.75"/187.3cm and was off .25"/5mm.

@physics enemy
If people copy other's guess that wud b so lame n pathetic...challenger 2 n 8 easily looked 187+ cm but they turned out opposite...now m at the very bottam of leaderboard...apart from good guessing i think luck also plays a part in this contest...i had been out by mere 2 mm in two challenges but still was 3rd in both of them

Wow the height of the camera really changed the result. I lined up challenge 2, 5, and 8 in Photoshop and number 8 looked nearly as tall as 5 and considerably taller than 2 when lining up the Rob heads. Bravo Rob this was a good one.
Editor Rob
no 5 was probably the most accurate looking because Jenny was on a stool and the camera was very near the top of my head.
but the vertical shot for this one, she actually lowered the camera I believe to try to get our feet in, the horizontal ones she stood about 5ft 11 or so.

This guy is 6' 2" really, it's just that a hard day's graft and lifting can knock your height down considerably. If Rob did that I reckon he could measure under 5' 8" at a push. Not true height though by any means.
Just to check Rob - Those pics were taken all at the same time and just before/after the stadiometer measurement, right?

Editor Rob they always are, I take the photos and straight after do the measurement.

186.8? this is one of the biggest surprise i had! I thought he looked no less than 189, rob! how the hell is he so "short"? anyway if this is his lowest height he's a legit 6'1.75 man!

I'm shocked! Can't believe he was this height.
Rob, so far you've upgraded virtually every single volunteer in the challenges thus far! Don't you think you should bare this in mind with the heights of celebrities? People have been telling you that you've overlisted them. Based on the evidence of your guesses, that would seem correct, don't you think?
Rav - The 188.2 type guesses came flooding in AFTER I put that, not before. Only 2 people put that before I stated it. If people copied Triplescrew, then I would state that as well. Maybe some did, that wouldn't surprise me.
But yes, Rob. You do upgrade people, so it's highly likely you've upgraded Pitt, Stallone, Clooney and countless others as well. The vast majority on those pages believe they are lower than you've listed them.
Alex, well done! You've overtaken me. :-( For now. ;-)

Editor Rob I think my own guesses are very close, I've done 2 more men Jenny would attest I got them pretty close ;)
with challenger 8, maybe my guess was formed on seeing him numerous times at the 6ft 1.75-2 range. Challenger 5 does night shift so I see his height vary a bit more.

Editor Rob since he's a plumber and it was after 6pm on his way home from work I think it pretty much was a low measurement.
A said on 5/Nov/11
WOW! I was 5mm off and still didn't make top 5? LMAO!
The most I've been off was 1.5cm on one of the challeges. Every other challenge I've been within 1cm, so mm's off, and still never made the leader board! So disappointing!!! XDDD
