DAILY NO. 4 · VERIFIED MEASUREMENTS
The September 25, 2026 puzzle ran from a road bicycle at 1.8 m to the RMS Titanic at 269 m — about 154× apart, drawing on vehicles. The pair furthest apart was round 4: a family sedan is 1.7× as big as a concert grand piano.
Puzzle #4 asked about an American pickup truck, a road bicycle, a farm tractor, a family sedan and the RMS Titanic. 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: American Pickup Truck — 5.9 m. An American pickup truck measures 5.9 m (length / span), which is 1.2× as big as the reference, a farm tractor at 5 m.
A full-size pickup can be nearly six metres long.
Common miss: players tend to compress an American pickup truck when it sits beside a farm tractor — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Road Bicycle — 1.8 m. 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: Farm Tractor — 5 m. A farm tractor measures 5 m (length / span), which is about 1.2× smaller than the reference, an American pickup truck at 5.9 m.
Five metres of tractor is mostly wheelbase; the rear tyres alone can stand taller than an adult.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a farm tractor when it sits beside an American pickup truck — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Family Sedan — 4.6 m. A family sedan measures 4.6 m (length / span), which is 1.7× as big as the reference, a concert grand piano at 2.7 m.
The reference almost everyone has parked: a mid-size sedan runs about 4.6 m bumper to bumper.
Common miss: players tend to compress a family sedan when it sits beside a concert grand piano — 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.
