  • 35,775 including an accidental entry before I had finished the last one and being way off on a couple of time guesses.

    • 34904. Was headed for an all time low score until Stonehenge saved me. Mistook Slovenia for Sarajevo, London for Cambridge, and a Czechian town for Italy. All over on the time; no closer than 4 years.

        1 yrs off - 2117.8 km - I guessed Sochi Olympics

        2)4583 pts
        21 yrs off - 79.2 km - way off on date. The Cambridge University banner tricked me as well.

        3)8398 pts
        7 yrs off - 75.0 m - I spent entirely too much time scrolling around NYC on the map--got one street off. How do they number the addresses there?

        4)8858 pts
        3 yrs off - 242.4 km - in the neighborhood with Salzburg

        5)9202 pts
        4 yrs off - 4.9 km - I'm still trying to wrap my head around this pic, knowing how the roads are lined up there. I think they might be off on their location of the pin.

              You can share where you guessed. No judgement here.

                          1 yrs off - 660.1 km - I knew this was further south of Paris. Oh well.

                          20 yrs off - 6434.7 km - I guess United Nations, and much earlier.

                          3 yrs off - 3151.4 km - this region is so vast, it's hard to get close sometimes.

                          1 yrs off - 2.3 km - I spent far too much time scrolling around Istanbul only to not find the exact location.
