Biggest Box Office 2017

Postby Kyle » Wed Aug 30, 2017 1:28 pm

Here's the rules:

1- Post up with a office building anywhere in the world that you think was in the top 10 largest office buildings by square footage of office space.

2- YOU ONLY GET ONE GUESS. After the first round, the game is over. Make your guess count.

3- Your guess must be done off the top of your head. No research. No googling. Just use your brain. This game is on the honor system. But if you cheat, please understand that you're just ruining the game for everyone. There's nothing at stake. We're just all trying to have fun.

4- Points are awarded only for the top 10 office buildings, in reverse order of their place on the list. Thus, 1 point for the 10th office building. 10 points for the top one. The listing is determined by the rankings of a wikipedia article I found online. If you think the list contains an error--that's too bad.

I will try to periodically update this first post with all the guesses, points awarded and standings.

OFFICE BUILDINGS:
1-
2-
3-
4-
5-
6-
7-
8-
9-
10-

The Nakatomi building. Which in real life is (was?) Fox headquarters... like Fox Tower? Fox Force Five? Something like that.

FInal answer.

I think NASA has the biggest building by volume, but I think only part of it is office space.

How about Taipei 101?

Wow... Something is BIGGER than the Pentagon now? I mean, back in the day it was known as "the largest office building in the world"...

I suppose someone must have built a larger one by now... four people I suppose...

How about the Kremlin? Is that an office?

I also really like that merely stating the name of the city with a famous tall tower building was enough to get somewhere. To zero pts, but somewhere!
