How big is the moon?

If you hold each of the following objects at arms length, which best represents the apparent size of the moon?
1. A dinner plate
2. A saucer
3. An orange
4. A cherry
5 A pea
6 A pinhead.

Of course, you can check this by going outside with the six objects in hand, but I'm asking you to go by gut feeling as you sit in front of the computer.
