The October 6, 2026 puzzle ran from an American pickup truck at 5.9 m to a high-speed train at 200 m — about 34× apart, drawing on vehicles. The pair furthest apart was round 1: a Boeing 747 is 1.9× as big as a Space Shuttle orbiter.

ROUND 1

How long is a Boeing 747 compared with a Space Shuttle orbiter?

Answer: Boeing 747 — 70.7 m. 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.
