Size It Up Landmarks answer: October 6
The five Landmarks silhouettes for October 6, 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 33 ran from the Cleopatra’s Needle in New York (21.03 m) to Petronas Tower 1 (452 m). The widest gap was round 1, Christ the Redeemer against Florence Cathedral, at 3.1×; the closest call was round 2, Big Ben against London Eye, only 1.4× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
