Size It Up Landmarks answer: October 14
The five Landmarks silhouettes for October 14, 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 41 ran from the Cleopatra’s Needle in New York (21.03 m) to the Tsing Ma Bridge Main Span (1.377 km). The widest gap was round 5, Cleopatra’s Needle in New York against Qutb Minar, at 3.4×; the closest call was round 1, Christ the Redeemer against Brandenburg Gate, only 1.5× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
