This is to believe as the world's largest pair of shoes are in Marikina City, Philippines. It took 77 days for the shoes to be built. The shoe is 5.29 meters long, 2.37 meters wide and 1.83 meters high.

World's Largest Crossword

The Ukrainian city of Lvov has recently installed what might just be the world's largest crossword (in physical size). The puzzle covers the entire side of a residential tower block that's approximately 30 meters tall. During the day the crossword appears empty - with the answers lighting up at night. The questions for the puzzle are located in different point of interests of the city: monuments, theatres, fountains etc. so people walking around the city can try to solve the puzzle and write down their answers. When night comes they can meet at this house and check how they did.
