Size It Up Landmarks answer: October 15
The five Landmarks silhouettes for October 15, 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 42 ran from the Lotus Temple (34.3 m) to the CN Tower (553 m). The widest gap was round 4, Lotus Temple against Florence Cathedral, at 3.4×; the closest call was round 3, Great Sphinx of Giza against Leaning Tower of Pisa, only 1.3× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
