The October 15, 2026 puzzle ran from a VR headset at 20 cm to a server rack at 2 m — about 10× apart, drawing on technology. The pair furthest apart was round 1: a VR headset is 1.3× as big as a game controller.
Answer: VR Headset — 20 cm. A VR headset measures 20 cm (length / span), which is 1.3× as big as the reference, a game controller at 16 cm.
Most of the bulk is the gap the lenses need in front of your eyes.
Common miss: players tend to compress a VR headset when it sits beside a game controller — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Server Rack — 2 m. A server rack measures 2 m (height), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a surfboard at 2 m.
A full rack is commonly around two metres tall.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a server rack when it sits beside a surfboard — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Office Printer — 45 cm. An office printer measures 45 cm (length / span), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a computer keyboard at 44 cm.
Width is set by the paper path — A4 and Letter need the same clearance.
Common miss: players tend to compress an office printer when it sits beside a computer keyboard — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Camera Drone — 35 cm. A camera drone measures 35 cm (length / span), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a large pizza at 35.6 cm.
Measured diagonally between motors, the dimension most drone regulations use.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a camera drone when it sits beside a large pizza — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Laptop Computer — 35 cm. A laptop computer measures 35 cm (length / span), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a camera drone at 35 cm.
Measured across the closed lid, not along the screen’s diagonal.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a laptop computer when it sits beside a camera drone — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
