ALL ANSWERS · LANDMARKS · DAILY No. 40 · OCTOBER 13, 2026
Size It Up Landmarks answer: October 13
The five Landmarks silhouettes for October 13, 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 40 ran from the Louvre Pyramid (21.64 m) to the Mackinac Bridge Main Span (1.158 km). The widest gap was round 4, Louvre Pyramid against Tower Bridge, at 2.8×; the closest call was round 1, Tokyo Skytree against Empire State Building, only 1.4× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
