Size It Up Landmarks answer: September 26
The five Landmarks silhouettes for September 26, with the true sizes. If you have not played yet, this page is a spoiler — play these five first, then come back to argue with the numbers.
Day 23 ran from the Parthenon (69.5 m) to the Great Belt East Bridge Main Span (1.624 km). The widest gap was round 3, Great Belt East Bridge Main Span against One World Trade Center, at 3.0×; the closest call was round 5, Ben Franklin Bridge Main Span against Tokyo Tower, only 1.6× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
