Origins
Identifying a landmark from a view that starts tightly zoomed and gradually widens is recognition under progressive disclosure.
Scoring higher the earlier you answer is the original pressure.
Tight crops defeat the usual cue, which is silhouette against a skyline. Recognising a monument from its stonework or its ornament means knowing the building rather than the postcard, and the widening view is a measure of how much of it you actually knew.
