    Right, so we're stuck on the Empire State/Jin Mao, and the two bridges. Looks like Millau to me, but not sure. The former is going to be the tricky one!

    Here is the Empire State vs. the comp silhouette:

    Jin Mao:

    It looks a lot more like the Jin Mao to me. Empire state silhouettes look like this (link is broken up as I can't post links yet):

    I think I'll have to agree. The Empire State doesn't have little bulges on the sides, the silhouette does and so does Jin Mao. So does Taipei, but the spire at the top is a lot narrower so I'm discounting that.

    I'm going with:

    1. Millau Bridge

    2. Spinnaker Tower

    3. Sears (Willis) Tower

    4. 30 St Marys Axe (The Gherkin)

    5. Leaning Tower of Pisa

    6. Jin Mao Tower, Shanghai
