    8358 Picked center of France and didn't recognize it as Vichy so thought it was post war
    3260 Didn't recognize JG, so went with a Rev. Moon wedding in DC in 97, despite my initial sense that the hair had to be late 80s early 90s. Looked outdoors as well.
    6619 Went with Poland for non cyrilic eastern European 8 years off as well
    9387 just picked Jerusalem. Agree that they need to get rid of the Flat Stanley pictures, because they are all going to be '24, which takes out half the challenge.

    • The France one was disappointing. I had actually been to a place du 4 septembre in Marseille, and I thought it was the beginning of the Vichy state instead of the end. Turns out there are a lot of place du 4 septembre throughout France.

      • 39k. Did really well until the last one. Guessed NYC because I thought they might be trying to be tricky with the Hebrew. That cost me about 5000 points. I guessed Romania on the latin communist pic, but was 19 years off on the date. Sad!

        Also, if i'm not mistaken, the blonde guy in the Hollywood pic is the "You're dead meat, Daniel. Dead meat!" guy from Karate Kid.

        • Killed it today. 45,769. I even guessed Tel Aviv as opposed to Jerusalem.

                3)

                3 yrs off
                1134.8 km -- I went with Myanmar because of the unrest in the 90's there. Thought it might be Bangladesh as well.

                7 yrs off

                1893.6 km -- I knew to look for Palembang from the girl's glasses but couldn't find it and picked the wrong region of Indonesia. I thought this was more recent than it was.

                      Big misses were Mongolia for Nepal, eastern Berlin for Chech republic, and Bali for whatever that main larger Indonesian Island is.

                        Do you mean Hungary?

                            I think Budapest was my lowest individual score I have ever had.

                              • I’m feeling a lot better about my score for today after checking this thread. Still south of 40k.
