You got historical chops? The Timeguessr thread (spoiler alert)

42,133. Did great on everything but the rock. Whiffed horribly on that one.

39k today. Got all the locations correct but crushed on years. I suck at cars. That Eiffel Tower one screamed late 40s to me car wise, so I wasted an easy location. Clothing wise, Times Square looked pretty now to me, nope.

I thought Times Square looked modern, but I saw ABC was promoting Modern Family so figured it had to be around 10 years ago

Yes, I clearly went too fast on this one as there were plenty of good clues. Funny thing is I got within one year of the Gibraltar monkey pic on a total guess. It all evens out. Today was the day for an all time high score though because the locations were relatively easy and I wasted it. For you car guys, am I crazy that those look like 40's cars more than 60s? Was the bus the clue?

I'm loving this game and the discussions that come from it. I like it more than wordle and connections, as fun as they are.

I wish it had a better interface.

Whoops. Not sure why my Daily isn't the same as everyone else's unless I pull up a fresh page before I click on Daily. Still a good day.

The VW Beatles were the biggest clue to me. Extremely subtle differences between the 40's and 60's versions.

how do you copy and paste results?

I was doing so well till the last one. I have been to the Kremlin and I totally missed that. I was 'hey, that looks like something from Ottoman empire'. ended up with 40,700 because of a 2624 on the last one.

I did get 9991 points for Gibraltar. off by 400 meters but nailed the year because of Brexit.

I just Ctrl-A it and then delete the extra stuff. This is on a Windows laptop.

Cool monkey. The primate on top is also handsome.

Well how bout that. I was trying to select the text with my mouse. With the way it was responding, I thought it must be an image.

Not a lot of clues on the year there.... The glasses and sweater could be from a wide range of years. Timeless stuff there! The camcorder would tell me that it is before phone video got as good as it is today.

2015?
