Size It Up Vehicles answer: September 5

The five Vehicles silhouettes for September 5, with the true sizes. If you have not played yet, this page is a spoiler — play these five first, then come back to argue with the numbers.

Day 2 ran from a Smart Fortwo (2.7 m) to a Saturn V (111 m). The widest gap was round 2, Saturn V against Cargo Van, at 19×; the closest call was round 5, Bus against Main Battle Tank, only 1.2× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.

  1. ROUND 1

    Space Shuttle Orbiter vs Cessna 172

    Cessna 172 · reference · 8.3 m
    Space Shuttle Orbiter · true length · 37.2 m

    4.5× longer than the Cessna 172

    The Space Shuttle orbiter was 37.2 m long — a 737 that flew to orbit and back.

  2. ROUND 2

    Saturn V vs Cargo Van (long-wheelbase panel van)

    Cargo Van · reference · 5.98 m
    Saturn V · true height · 111 m

    19× taller than the cargo van

    Saturn V stood 111 m tall — taller than the Statue of Liberty, pedestal included.

  3. ROUND 3

    Semi-Trailer Truck (tractor + 40 ft trailer) vs Smart Fortwo

    Smart Fortwo · reference · 2.7 m
    Semi-Trailer Truck · true length · 16.5 m

    6.1× longer than the Smart Fortwo

    A tractor with a 40 ft trailer runs to 16.5 m — the length most road-train limits are written around.

  4. ROUND 4

    Fire Engine (pumper) vs Boeing 737 (737-800)

    Boeing 737 · reference · 39.5 m
    Fire Engine · true length · 10 m

    3.9× shorter than the Boeing 737

    A pumper fire engine is about 10 m long — shorter than a city bus, and it still needs the whole street to turn.

  5. ROUND 5

    Bus (12 m coach) vs Main Battle Tank (M1 Abrams, gun forward)

    Main Battle Tank · reference · 9.8 m
    Bus · true length · 12 m

    1.2× longer than the main battle tank

    A standard single-deck coach is about 12 m long — the length most full-size buses share worldwide.
