Size It Up Vehicles answer: September 12

The five Vehicles silhouettes for September 12, 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 9 ran from a family car (4.63 m) to a nuclear submarine (170 m). The widest gap was round 4, Tram against Family Car, at 6.9×; the closest call was round 3, School Bus against Gondola, only 1.3× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.

  1. ROUND 1

    Falcon 9 vs Airbus A320neo

    Airbus A320neo · reference · 37.57 m
    Falcon 9 · true height · 70 m

    1.9× taller than the Airbus A320neo

    A Falcon 9 is 70 m tall, and its first stage flies itself back to land.

  2. ROUND 2

    Nuclear Submarine (Ohio class) vs Delta II Rocket (OCO-2 configuration)

    Delta II Rocket · reference · 39.01 m
    Nuclear Submarine · true length · 170 m

    4.4× longer than the Delta II Rocket

    An Ohio-class submarine is 170 m long — longer than the Washington Monument is tall.

  3. ROUND 3

    School Bus (US Type C) vs Gondola (Venetian)

    Gondola · reference · 10.85 m
    School Bus · true length · 13.7 m

    1.3× longer than the gondola

    A full-size Type C school bus is 13.7 m long and seats 72 children.

  4. ROUND 4

    Tram (five-section low-floor) vs Family Car (Toyota Corolla)

    Family Car · reference · 4.63 m
    Tram · true length · 32 m

    6.9× longer than the family car

    A five-section low-floor tram is 32 m long, nearly three buses end to end.

  5. ROUND 5

    Helicopter (AS355 Écureuil 2, rotors turning) vs Shinkansen Car (N700 series, one car)

    Shinkansen Car · reference · 25 m
    Helicopter · true length · 12.94 m

    1.9× shorter than the Shinkansen Car

    An AS355 Écureuil 2 helicopter spans about 12.9 m from rotor tip to tail; the fuselage alone is 10.9 m.
