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

32,990. Good on locations but got beat up on dates today. Which is a roundabout way to say I sucked at the part of the game that makes it different from geoguessr. Just want to go on record saying the Germany one being in the 1970s was bullshit.

Ha, yes, I guessed somewhere in the 50s on that one. When I saw the answer I thought "Men were still wearing fedoras in Germany in the 70s?"

Got the city right for Vietnam but had no idea what the timeline of the withdrawal was. Guessed mid 1970's. No way that Alabama pic was 2002 .Thought Morocco was Cairo (wasn't Egypt a French colony before?), and off by 15(!) years. 3 years off the German tourists (the clothing style was apparent), and guessed Iowa for the Trump rally.

Looking at the lady in pants and the shoes she was wearing made me think 70's.

I expect nothing less. If I ever do beat you, let's chalk it up to luck.

I had all the exact same problems, but I guessed Switzerland instead of Germany and pinned it as wayyyyy earlier than 71. And damn it, that could be Cairo, is my argument... ALSO guessed Iowa and 2024. Oh well.

This is where knowing the flags of the world helps. I probably would have thought Egypt if I wasn't associated with Morocco. We have a partnership with them at work.

Oh, I have done worse than that. Several times. Amateur.

Yeah some country's flags are just goofy and not memorable.

[chrisrenrut]

I’m getting worse at this game. Someone send in a picture of SLC during the Olympics, or the BYU-Miami game.

Totally whiffed on Morocco location and Alabama time. Put Trump in NH

[Pelado]

First time I've done the game, but I didn't create an account and closed out of the browser before transcribing scores by round. The total score was 32k something. I didn't recognize the flag and figured the Moroccan picture was more Middle East. I went with Istanbul. I was two years off.

I got Ho Chi Minh City and was off by 4 years. I got Birmingham but was way off on the year. I went with Munich on the German one, which was relatively close, but was way off on the year there, too. I thought the Trump rally might have been leading up to the New Hampshire primary, so I was a fair amount off on the location and off by one year.
