ALL ANSWERS · LANDMARKS · DAILY No. 28 · OCTOBER 1, 2026
Size It Up Landmarks answer: October 1
The five Landmarks silhouettes for October 1, 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 28 ran from Christ the Redeemer (38 m) to the 1915 Canakkale Bridge Main Span (2.023 km). The widest gap was round 4, Nelson’s Column against Great Pyramid of Giza, at 4.5×; the closest call was round 3, Statue of Unity against St Paul’s Cathedral, only 1.6× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
