Universalpsykopath tugs our coat and says: Tell us about your feats of deduction and the little mysteries you've solved. Alternatively, tell us about the simple, everyday things that mystified you for far too long.

In order to judge the size of something
Unless it overlaps with something of known size, you use the parallax effect set up by your eyes. If an object is more than 18 metres away, it is impossible (not "difficult", not physically possible) to tell how big it is. As a corollary of that, it is also impossible to tell how far away it is.
So yeah, binbag.
