DAILY NO. 3 · VERIFIED MEASUREMENTS
The September 24, 2026 puzzle ran from a farm tractor at 5 m to a container ship at 300 m — about 60× apart, drawing on vehicles. The pair furthest apart was round 5: an American pickup truck is about 1.5× smaller than a Triceratops.
Puzzle #3 asked about a Boeing 747, a farm tractor, a container ship, the RMS Titanic and an American pickup truck. Each answer below gives the measured size, the reference it stood beside and the source behind the number. Want the surprise first? Replay this puzzle — archived days never touch your streak.
Answer: Boeing 747 — 70.7 m. A Boeing 747 measures 70.7 m (length / span), which is about 1.5× smaller than the reference, the Hollywood Sign at 106.7 m.
A classic Boeing 747 is roughly 70.7 metres long.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a Boeing 747 when it sits beside the Hollywood Sign — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Farm Tractor — 5 m. A farm tractor measures 5 m (length / span), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, a family sedan at 4.6 m.
Five metres of tractor is mostly wheelbase; the rear tyres alone can stand taller than an adult.
Common miss: players tend to compress a farm tractor when it sits beside a family sedan — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Container Ship — 300 m. A container ship measures 300 m (length / span), which is 1.5× as big as the reference, a high-speed train at 200 m.
A large container ship is almost three football fields long.
Common miss: players tend to compress a container ship when it sits beside a high-speed train — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: RMS Titanic — 269 m. 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: American Pickup Truck — 5.9 m. An American pickup truck measures 5.9 m (length / span), which is about 1.5× smaller than the reference, a Triceratops at 9 m.
A full-size pickup can be nearly six metres long.
Common miss: players tend to inflate an American pickup truck when it sits beside a Triceratops — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
