Here I am on my honeymoon in front of a lovely stained glass window in Victoria, BC:
The Hearst Tower is one of the more striking buildings near John Jay. I glance up at it every morning as I walk to North Hall from Columbus Circle. I was wondering where it ranks amongst buildings in New York City in terms of height. Although it's easy to find out how tall it is, I found it surprisingly difficult to find this bit of information online. The first student who provides me with this statistic (including the source) gets a low homework grade dropped. Make sure you qualify your answer--for example, are you including or excluding buildings currently under construction? (Note: prior winners are ineligible for the prize.)
