Size It Up Vehicles answer: October 15
The five Vehicles silhouettes for October 15, 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 42 ran from a Segway MAX G2 (1.21 m) to a Concorde (61.66 m). The widest gap was round 2, Porsche 911 Carrera against Shinkansen Car, at 5.5×; the closest call was round 1, Segway MAX G2 against Motorcycle, only 1.8× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
