Size It Up Vehicles answer: October 28
The five Vehicles silhouettes for October 28, 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 55 ran from a Smart Fortwo (2.7 m) to a Eurostar e320 (400 m). The widest gap was round 5, Eurostar e320 against Space Shuttle Orbiter, at 11×; the closest call was round 3, Los Angeles-class Submarine against Starship, only 1.1× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.

ROUND 1
Smart Fortwo vs Flying Scotsman (engine + tender)
Flying Scotsman · reference · 21.4 m Smart Fortwo · true length · 2.7 m 7.9× shorter than the Flying Scotsman
A Smart Fortwo is 2.7 m long — it parks nose-in where other cars park sideways.
-
ROUND 2
Apollo Lunar Module vs Cat D10 Dozer (SU blade + ripper)
Cat D10 Dozer · reference · 9.158 m Apollo Lunar Module · true height · 6.985 m 1.3× shorter than the Cat D10 Dozer
The Apollo Lunar Module stood 6.99 m tall with its landing legs extended. Only its upper ascent stage lifted off again, using the descent stage as a launch platform.
-
ROUND 3
Los Angeles-class Submarine vs Starship (V1 stack with Super Heavy)
Starship · reference · 121 m Los Angeles-class Submarine · true length · 109.7 m 1.1× shorter than the Starship
A Los Angeles-class submarine is 109.73 m long, with most of its volume hidden underwater in service.
-
ROUND 4
Cargo Van (long-wheelbase panel van) vs Kayak (recreational)
Kayak · reference · 3 m Cargo Van · true length · 5.98 m 2.0× longer than the kayak
A long-wheelbase panel van is 5.98 m long — a metre and a third more than a family saloon.
-
ROUND 5
Eurostar e320 (complete 16-car train) vs Space Shuttle Orbiter
Space Shuttle Orbiter · reference · 37.2 m Eurostar e320 · true length · 400 m 11× longer than the Space Shuttle Orbiter
A full Eurostar e320 train is about 400 m long. All sixteen cars count, which is why its true-scale profile looks so thin.
