Size It Up Landmarks answer: September 30
The five Landmarks silhouettes for September 30, 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 27 ran from the Luxor Obelisk in Paris (23 m) to the Tokyo Skytree (634 m). The widest gap was round 3, Chichen Itza against National Monument (Monas), at 4.4×; the closest call was round 1, Tokyo Skytree against Williamsburg Bridge Main Span, only 1.3× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
