Size It Up Landmarks answer: October 16
The five Landmarks silhouettes for October 16, 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 43 ran from the Angel of the North (20 m) to the Humber Bridge Main Span (1.41 km). The widest gap was round 1, Sydney Opera House against India Gate, at 4.4×; the closest call was round 3, Angel of the North against Al-Khazneh, only 2.0× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
