Size It Up answer: October 6

Day 33 ran from a bonsai tree (20 cm) to Mount Kilimanjaro (5.895 km). The widest gap was round 3, Bonsai Tree against Vending Machine, at 9.2×; the closest call was round 4, CN Tower against Pingshan II Cooling Tower, only 2.6× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
