Size It Up Vehicles answer: October 13
The five Vehicles silhouettes for October 13, 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 40 ran from a Siemens Vectron (18.98 m) to the Seawise Giant (458.5 m). The widest gap was round 4, RMS Titanic against CH-47 Chinook, at 8.9×; the closest call was round 5, SR-71 Blackbird against Falcon 9, only 2.1× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.

Boeing 787-9 vs Siemens Vectron
Siemens Vectron · reference · 18.98 m Boeing 787-9 · true length · 62.8 m 3.3× longer than the Siemens Vectron

ROUND 4
RMS Titanic vs CH-47 Chinook (including rotors)
CH-47 Chinook · reference · 30.14 m RMS Titanic · true length · 269 m 8.9× longer than the CH-47 Chinook
Titanic was 269 m long — the largest ship afloat in 1912, and a third shorter than today's biggest cruise ships.

ROUND 5
SR-71 Blackbird vs Falcon 9
Falcon 9 · reference · 70 m SR-71 Blackbird · true length · 32.74 m 2.1× shorter than the Falcon 9
The SR-71A is about 32.74 m long. Its pointed nose and engine nacelles give it a very different outline from an airliner.
