Size It Up Vehicles answer: October 4
The five Vehicles silhouettes for October 4, 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 31 ran from a Volkswagen Beetle (4.07 m) to the USS Missouri (270.4 m). The widest gap was round 5, Volkswagen Beetle against Los Angeles-class Submarine, at 27×; the closest call was round 2, Apollo Lunar Module against Wright Flyer, only 1.1× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
