You may be able to see the buildings from just about anywhere, but can you name them? You’ve got four minutes to name the world’s ten tallest buildings, not including the Burj Dubai.

SPOILER ALERT:
@Jason: I think you have a mistake in the quiz. I think one of the answers should be TWO International Finance Centre (Hong Kong), as opposed to Trump International Finance Center.

Where’s the CN Tower? It’s over 400 feet higher than the Sears Tower

Burj Dubai? Last time I checked it was pretty gosh darn tall.

just to nitpick, there is no longer a Sears Tower. It is now called the Willis Tower

The CN Tower is 85 feet higher than the Willis Tower, not 400. Willis(Sears)is always measured from the top of the antenna, which has a walkway I will never in my life set foot on again.
