About this puzzle
A lighthouse only works if its lamp can be seen, and the surest way to be seen is to build tall. These five towers were raised on four continents across five centuries, from a Renaissance harbor beacon to a steel range light of the 1980s. Rank them by tower height, from the loftiest lamp to the shortest.
