Heights worth remembering
The world's mountains ladder: Everest 8,849 m, K2 8,611 m, then the rest of the Himalayan eight-thousanders; Aconcagua in the Andes is the tallest outside Asia at just under 7,000 m; Denali (North America) is just over 6,000 m and Kilimanjaro (Africa) just under; Elbrus (Europe's highest) about 5,600 m; Mont Blanc about 4,800 m.
For buildings, the Burj Khalifa at 828 m is more than twice the Eiffel Tower (330 m) and nearly twice the Empire State Building (443 m to the tip). Once you have those three, every other tower on the slider is a fraction of one of them.
The whole pack, timed, with streaks and a leaderboard, is in the app.
