Size It Up Vehicles answer: September 26
The five Vehicles silhouettes for September 26, 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 23 ran from a bicycle (1.75 m) to a container ship (400 m). The widest gap was round 5, Bicycle against Shinkansen Car, at 14×; the closest call was round 4, Electron Rocket against Shipping Container, only 1.5× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
