Size It Up Vehicles answer: September 6

The five Vehicles silhouettes for September 6, 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 3 ran from a kayak (3 m) to a container ship (400 m). The widest gap was round 5, Hot Air Balloon against RMS Titanic, at 13×; the closest call was round 1, Jet Ski against Kayak, only 1.1× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.

  1. ROUND 1

    Jet Ski (three-seat runabout) vs Kayak (recreational)

    Kayak · reference · 3 m
    Jet Ski · true length · 3.3 m

    1.1× longer than the kayak

    A three-seat personal watercraft is 3.3 m long — longer than a Smart Fortwo.

  2. ROUND 2

    Concorde vs Falcon 9

    Falcon 9 · reference · 70 m
    Concorde · true length · 61.66 m

    1.1× shorter than the Falcon 9

    Concorde was 61.66 m long — almost as long as a Boeing 747, carrying a quarter of the passengers.

  3. ROUND 3

    Aircraft Carrier (USS Nimitz) vs Nuclear Submarine (Ohio class)

    Nuclear Submarine · reference · 170 m
    Aircraft Carrier · true length · 333 m

    2.0× longer than the nuclear submarine

    USS Nimitz is 333 m long — three football pitches of flight deck.

  4. ROUND 4

    Boeing 747 (747-400) vs Container Ship (Ever Given)

    Container Ship · reference · 400 m
    Boeing 747 · true length · 70.7 m

    5.7× shorter than the container ship

    A 747-400 is 70.7 m long — longer than the Wright brothers' first flight.

  5. ROUND 5

    Hot Air Balloon (typical envelope) vs RMS Titanic

    RMS Titanic · reference · 269 m
    Hot Air Balloon · true height · 20 m

    13× shorter than the RMS Titanic

    A typical hot air balloon is about 20 m tall from basket to crown.
