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

Am I the only one who thought "Oh, that's a cute girl" and had no idea it was Kate Moss?

Also, I guessed Prague in that one, so not my finest hour.

I did almost ace the berlin wall. One year off and very close geographically (which is obviously no great feat).

Who's Kate Moss? I had to Google her.

"Had to"? Don't blame us when your wife questions your browsing history.

37582. I was thinking either Finland or Iceland on the third pic. Guessed wrong. Still struggling wildly with the dates. But happy to get really close on some of the locations. There should probably be a time limit on how long you zoom around on the map.

Got crushed today. Thrown off by the yellow and blue in the Iceland pic and went Sweden, and still I can't believe that was the 70s in in the Finland pic. Almost every man had a hat! That screams 40s/50s.

Some of the hairdos and glasses made me think 60's. Wasn't it 1970? I still got hammered by picking early 60's.

I got the location also exactly for Prince Philip, but I was way off for the year. He looked so old in that picture.

I had a bunch of terrible guesses 26,469.

Thought Jackie k might have been in the Philippines. I guessed Sochi instead of India. I too picked Sweden over Iceland.

i was way off with the year odd the straw march. I think I picked 2007.

So I was either way off on the locations or way off on the dates.

Those knee high boots on the women screamed early 2000s to me.

Regression to the mean... 32,353. I got 9,982 on Prince Philip but only 3,412 on the fourth step as I went with Tunis instead of Mumbai.

Did terrible today, 29,142. Thought I was clever with the Jackie O pic, thinking she was visiting Greece after the JFK assassination. But I was five years off and a few hundred kilometers away. I got India right but was 17 years off (all those horses, in 1911?!?). And I was ready to end on a high note when I recognized Prince Andrew. Had to be London, right? But I didn't see the 'Helsinki' sign in the distance

Ha, this exact thing knocked me down.

Overthought the Helsinki picture because I saw the Stock____ Ford sign in the bottom right, so I hedged my bet and picked a spot halfway between Stockholm and Helsinki. Biggest distance fail was that I put Kuala Lumpor instead of Mumbai because of the hills in the back of the bay. All over the place on time.

Was thinking the same thing, but went with Helsinki.

30,700. Tough one.

[falafel]

27095. Terrible.

I thought Mumbai was in New York and the Indian soldiers were indian soldiers.

Also, it can be so hard to tell from these photos and clothing styles what time period it is. I thought the Whittlesey one was 2014, when it was 2024!

The Gateway of India intrigued me, so I looked it up (after the fact, Dude!) It was built to commemorate King George V for his coronation as King of India. But I read that the foundation stone was laid in 1913 and construction was completed in 1924. Wait, the picture was taken in 1911. The structure King George V walked through was constructed from cardboard.
