Size It Up Landmarks answer: September 27
The five Landmarks silhouettes for September 27, 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 24 ran from the Belém Tower (30 m) to the Forth Road Bridge Main Span (1.006 km). The widest gap was round 1, Leaning Tower of Pisa against Horyuji Five-storied Pagoda, at 1.8×; the closest call was round 2, Statue of Liberty against Great Sphinx of Giza, only 1.3× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
