The November 8, 2026 puzzle ran from a cruiser motorcycle at 2.2 m to a Boeing 747 at 70.7 m — about 32× apart, drawing on vehicles. The pair furthest apart was round 3: a Boeing 747 is about 1.6× smaller than an American football field.
Answer: Cruising Sailboat — 10 m. A cruising sailboat measures 10 m (length / span), which is about 1.1× smaller than the reference, an American school bus at 10.7 m.
A modest cruising yacht is commonly around ten metres long.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a cruising sailboat when it sits beside an American school bus — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Family Sedan — 4.6 m. A family sedan measures 4.6 m (length / span), which is about 1.1× smaller than the reference, a farm tractor at 5 m.
The reference almost everyone has parked: a mid-size sedan runs about 4.6 m bumper to bumper.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a family sedan when it sits beside a farm tractor — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Boeing 747 — 70.7 m. A Boeing 747 measures 70.7 m (length / span), which is about 1.6× smaller than the reference, an American football field at 109.7 m.
A classic Boeing 747 is roughly 70.7 metres long.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a Boeing 747 when it sits beside an American football field — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Cruiser Motorcycle — 2.2 m. A cruiser motorcycle measures 2.2 m (length / span), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, a queen bed at 2 m.
Cruisers are long and low — the raked front fork accounts for most of the extra length over a sport bike.
Common miss: players tend to compress a cruiser motorcycle when it sits beside a queen bed — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: New York Subway Car — 18.3 m. A New York subway car measures 18.3 m (length / span), which is 1.5× as big as the reference, a Tyrannosaurus rex at 12.3 m.
A common New York subway car is about 60 feet long.
Common miss: players tend to compress a New York subway car when it sits beside a Tyrannosaurus rex — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
