Size It Up Landmarks answer: October 9
The five Landmarks silhouettes for October 9, 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 36 ran from the Arena of Nîmes (133 m) to the Golden Gate Bridge (1.28 km). The widest gap was round 5, Lotte World Tower against Arena of Nîmes, at 4.2×; the closest call was round 4, Clifton Suspension Bridge Main Span against Burj Al Arab, only 1.5× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
