Answer: a road bicycle measures 1.8 m (length / span), which is about 1.3× smaller than the reference, a three-seat sofa at 2.2 m.
A road bike’s wheelbase is barely a metre; the wheels themselves add the rest.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a road bicycle when it sits beside a three-seat sofa — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: a Boeing 747 measures 70.7 m (length / span), which is 1.9× as big as the reference, a Space Shuttle orbiter at 37.3 m.
A classic Boeing 747 is roughly 70.7 metres long.
Common miss: players tend to compress a Boeing 747 when it sits beside a Space Shuttle orbiter — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: a New York subway car measures 18.3 m (length / span), which is 1.5× as big as the reference, a Tyrannosaurus rex at 12.3 m.
A common New York subway car is about 60 feet long.
Common miss: players tend to compress a New York subway car when it sits beside a Tyrannosaurus rex — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: the RMS Titanic measures 269 m (length / span), which is about 1.1× smaller than the reference, a container ship at 300 m.
Titanic was about 269 metres long — shorter than many modern container ships.
Common miss: players tend to inflate the RMS Titanic when it sits beside a container ship — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: a cruiser motorcycle measures 2.2 m (length / span), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, a queen bed at 2 m.
Cruisers are long and low — the raked front fork accounts for most of the extra length over a sport bike.
Common miss: players tend to compress a cruiser motorcycle when it sits beside a queen bed — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
