Size It Up Landmarks answer: October 11
The five Landmarks silhouettes for October 11, 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 38 ran from the Brandenburg Gate (26 m) to the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge Main Span (1.991 km). The widest gap was round 4, Akashi Kaikyo Bridge Main Span against Lotte World Tower, at 3.6×; the closest call was round 1, Leaning Tower of Pisa against National Monument (Monas), only 2.3× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
