1. A credit card 8.6 cm

   Every card's dimensions follow a global standard so it fits machines from Tokyo to Toronto.

   The banana you eat is a sterile clone; nearly all exported ones are a single variety called the Cavendish.

3. The Statue of Liberty (heel to torch) 47 m

   Her copper skin turned green over decades as the metal oxidised; she was originally a shiny reddish-brown.

   It was built in just 410 days during the Great Depression, rising about a floor a day at peak speed.

   It was once so polluted that 1858's 'Great Stink' forced Parliament to finally build London's sewers.
