ALL ANSWERS · LANDMARKS · DAILY No. 35 · OCTOBER 8, 2026
Size It Up Landmarks answer: October 8
The five Landmarks silhouettes for October 8, 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 35 ran from the Space Needle (184 m) to the 1915 Canakkale Bridge Main Span (2.023 km). The widest gap was round 5, Ohnaruto Bridge Main Span against Space Needle, at 4.8×; the closest call was round 1, Tokyo Skytree against Forth Road Bridge Main Span, only 1.6× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
