DAILY NO. 5 · VERIFIED MEASUREMENTS
The September 26, 2026 puzzle ran from a family sedan at 4.6 m to a container ship at 300 m — about 65× apart, drawing on vehicles. The pair furthest apart was round 1: a family sedan is 1.7× as big as a concert grand piano.
Puzzle #5 asked about a family sedan, the RMS Titanic, a high-speed train, an American school bus and a container ship. 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: 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.
Answer: High-Speed Train — 200 m. A high-speed train measures 200 m (length / span), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, the Roman Colosseum at 189 m.
A complete high-speed trainset can be around 200 metres long.
Common miss: players tend to compress a high-speed train when it sits beside the Roman Colosseum — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: American School Bus — 10.7 m. An American school bus measures 10.7 m (length / span), which is about 1.1× smaller than the reference, a Tyrannosaurus rex at 12.3 m.
A full-size American school bus is commonly around 10.7 metres long.
Common miss: players tend to inflate an American school bus when it sits beside a Tyrannosaurus rex — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Container Ship — 300 m. A container ship measures 300 m (length / span), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, the RMS Titanic at 269 m.
A large container ship is almost three football fields long.
Common miss: players tend to compress a container ship when it sits beside the RMS Titanic — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
