Size It Up Vehicles answer: October 3
The five Vehicles silhouettes for October 3, 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 30 ran from a Spitfire Mk I (9.1 m) to a container ship (400 m). The widest gap was round 5, Container Ship against Spitfire Mk I, at 44×; the closest call was round 4, CV-22 Osprey against CH-47 Chinook, only 1.7× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
