The October 18, 2026 puzzle ran from an American pickup truck at 5.9 m to a container ship at 300 m — about 51× apart, drawing on vehicles. The pair furthest apart was round 4: a New York subway car is 1.7× as big as an American school bus.
Answer: American Pickup Truck — 5.9 m. An American pickup truck measures 5.9 m (length / span), which is 1.3× as big as the reference, a family sedan at 4.6 m.

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.
