ALL ANSWERS · LANDMARKS · DAILY No. 29 · OCTOBER 2, 2026
Size It Up Landmarks answer: October 2
The five Landmarks silhouettes for October 2, 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 29 ran from Al-Khazneh (39.5 m) to the Mackinac Bridge Main Span (1.158 km). The widest gap was round 3, Malwiya Minaret against Pingshan II Cooling Tower, at 4.0×; the closest call was round 1, Statue of Liberty against Leaning Tower of Pisa, only 1.6× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
