Size It Up Landmarks answer: October 3
The five Landmarks silhouettes for October 3, 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 30 ran from the Lotus Temple (34.3 m) to the Gateway Arch (192 m). The widest gap was round 4, Lotus Temple against Washington Monument, at 4.9×; the closest call was round 5, London Eye against Tower Bridge, only 2.2× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
