Size It Up Vehicles answer: October 9
The five Vehicles silhouettes for October 9, 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 36 ran from a motorcycle (2.2 m) to the Seawise Giant (458.5 m). The widest gap was round 4, Space Shuttle Orbiter against London Black Cab, at 8.1×; the closest call was round 3, Bus against Tesla Cybertruck, only 2.1× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
