Is the Eiffel Tower taller than the Statue of Liberty including its pedestal?
Yes. The Eiffel Tower, at 330 m, is taller than the Statue of Liberty, at 93 m: about 3.5 times as tall.
The duel opens first in a practice round of ten; practice never changes your daily streak.
Why it surprises
The Statue of Liberty looks enormous in photos of New York Harbor, rising above the water on her stone pedestal, so it is easy to imagine her not far short of the Eiffel Tower. The gap is large. Measured from the ground to the tip of the torch, pedestal included, the Statue of Liberty is about 93 m tall. The Eiffel Tower reaches about 330 m including its antennas, about 3.5 times as high. And the statue itself is only part of that 93 m: from her heel to the top of the torch she measures about 46 m, roughly half, with the pedestal and its foundation making up the rest. Picture the statue alone beside the tower and the difference grows to about seven times. Both figures in this duel are full heights, antennas and pedestal included.
