The five vehicles objects from the Size It Up puzzle on October 6, 2026, with the measured size of each, the reference it was compared against, a source you can check, and how the community's guesses landed. Want the surprise first? Replay this puzzle — archived days never touch your streak.
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.
How long is a rescue helicopter compared with a Tyrannosaurus rex?
Answer: Rescue Helicopter — 17.8 m. A rescue helicopter measures 17.8 m (length / span), which is 1.4× as big as the reference, a Tyrannosaurus rex at 12.3 m.
Most of the length is tail boom — the cabin itself is barely longer than a van.
Common miss: players tend to compress a rescue helicopter when it sits beside a Tyrannosaurus rex — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
How long is a high-speed train compared with the RMS Titanic?
Answer: High-Speed Train — 200 m. A high-speed train measures 200 m (length / span), which is about 1.3× smaller than the reference, the RMS Titanic at 269 m.
A complete high-speed trainset can be around 200 metres long.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a high-speed train when it sits beside the RMS Titanic — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
How long is an American pickup truck compared with an American school bus?
Answer: American Pickup Truck — 5.9 m. An American pickup truck measures 5.9 m (length / span), which is about 1.8× smaller than the reference, an American school bus at 10.7 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 an American school bus — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
How long is an American school bus compared with a Stegosaurus?
Answer: American School Bus — 10.7 m. An American school bus measures 10.7 m (length / span), which is 1.2× as big as the reference, a Stegosaurus at 9 m.
A full-size American school bus is commonly around 10.7 metres long.
Common miss: players tend to compress an American school bus when it sits beside a Stegosaurus — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
