Size It Up Vehicles answer: October 12
The five Vehicles silhouettes for October 12, 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 39 ran from a motorcycle (2.2 m) to the Icon of the Seas (365 m). The widest gap was round 5, Tram against Starship, at 3.8×; the closest call was round 4, Hindenburg against Icon of the Seas, only 1.5× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
