Size It Up Landmarks answer: October 27
The five Landmarks silhouettes for October 27, 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 54 ran from the Cleopatra’s Needle in New York (21.03 m) to the Kita Bisan-Seto Bridge Main Span (990 m). The widest gap was round 5, Kita Bisan-Seto Bridge Main Span against Burj Al Arab, at 3.1×; the closest call was round 2, The Shard against Petronas Tower 1, only 1.5× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
