Size It Up Vehicles answer: September 16

The five Vehicles silhouettes for September 16, 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 13 ran from a bicycle (1.75 m) to an airship (75 m). The widest gap was round 5, Airship against Jason ROV, at 22×; the closest call was round 3, C-17 Globemaster III against Mayflower II, only 1.6× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.

  1. ROUND 1

    Fire Engine (pumper) vs Bicycle (adult road bike)

    Bicycle · reference · 1.75 m
    Fire Engine · true length · 10 m

    5.7× longer than the bicycle

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

  2. ROUND 2

    Jet Ski (three-seat runabout) vs SR-71 Blackbird

    SR-71 Blackbird · reference · 32.74 m
    Jet Ski · true length · 3.3 m

    9.9× shorter than the SR-71 Blackbird

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

  3. ROUND 3

    C-17 Globemaster III vs Mayflower II (1957 replica)

    Mayflower II · reference · 32.31 m
    C-17 Globemaster III · true length · 53 m

    1.6× longer than the Mayflower II

    The C-17 is 53 m long. The high wing and T-shaped tail leave room for its large cargo fuselage.

  4. ROUND 4

    Main Battle Tank (M1 Abrams, gun forward) vs Space Shuttle Orbiter

    Space Shuttle Orbiter · reference · 37.2 m
    Main Battle Tank · true length · 9.8 m

    3.8× shorter than the Space Shuttle Orbiter

    An M1 Abrams is 9.8 m long with the gun forward and weighs 60 tonnes.

  5. ROUND 5

    Airship (Zeppelin NT) vs Jason ROV

    Jason ROV · reference · 3.4 m
    Airship · true length · 75 m

    22× longer than the Jason ROV

    A Zeppelin NT — the Goodyear blimp of today — is 75 m long.
