Size It Up Vehicles answer: October 11
The five Vehicles silhouettes for October 11, 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 38 ran from a bicycle (1.75 m) to a Falcon Heavy (70 m). The widest gap was round 2, School Bus against Falcon Heavy, at 5.1×; the closest call was round 3, Mayflower II against B-52H Stratofortress, only 1.5× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
