44,743 -- All the locations were straightforward today except I kept guessing on the wrong side of the landmarks.

1) 8387 pts 6 yrs off - 637.8 m -- The closest phone looked old, so I guessed too early. I should have known. Everything looked old in the picture.
2) 9749 pts 2 yrs off - 2.0 km -- Biggest gimme of the day on location. Except I picked at the actual Biathlon location and not in town.
3) 6992 pts 12 yrs off - 420.8 m -- Guessed way too late thinking that this being a poorer location, the cars would have been older. The location was easy to find, considering the K prefix on everything and the city name is the title of all the signs.
4) 9676 pts 2 yrs off - 6.1 km -- Picked the wrong side of the Arc de Triomphe.
5) 9939 pts 0 yrs off - 2.5 km -- Picked the wrong side of the Statue of Liberty.

Stupid work computer. I nailed the first one close enough to get 10,000. Mrs. Diddley and I have been there a couple of times. I think it's a bit early for the show this year. They're probably starting in the next few days. And I nailed the last one with 10,000 as well. The other three, the computer showed me the year and location before I could even input anything.

1) 9233 pts 4 yrs off - 2.9 km -- A few years early. Lucked out with the location, but it was a likely spot.
2) 9384 pts 0 yrs off - 115.9 km -- Saw the year between the frames. Picked Paris.
3) 8259 pts 6 yrs off - 10.3 km -- Picked too late and up by the Dolby theatre.
4) 9542 pts 0 yrs off - 89.5 km -- Figured it was the end of the war. The flag looked like the Netherlands, but you never know when it is black and white. I picked Amsterdam.
5) 9300 pts 4 yrs off - 8.5 m -- Found some Texas stuff on some of the signs. I figured it was those hippies in Austin and was able to easily find the corner. I picked too late.

37,416

8295 pts 4 yrs off - 504.7 km - the shorts said Germany or Austria. The architecture made me think Berlin. I didn't make the Oktoberfest connection.
6869 pts 4 yrs off - 1861.6 km - I too was in Rome.
8395 pts 7 yrs off - 261.6 m - I wasn't sure I got the right place so got a little lucky because I didn't spend much time at all, but was on the East instead of the West of the landmark.

5689 pts 5 yrs off - 2133.6 km - I picked Oklahoma City.

41,088

1)6712 pts 5 yrs off - 1376.5 km - DIdn't find any good clue on this. One of the guys jacket had a Scottish flag on it but I saw a ot of green and went with Dublin. I picked too early.
2) 6468 pts 5 yrs off - 1863.4 km - Didn't find any clues here either. It looked like it said Itali on the side of the bus, so I just went with Rome.
3) 8400 pts 6 yrs off - 27.7 m - I figured Apple maps with have a drawing of the landmark and they did, so I found it after exploring a few cities.

It's been a while. I've been busy at work.

Yeah, me too. I like to spend a bit of time looking for clues in the pictures and the map. It always takes me a while.

Pretty decent score today though:

44,026

6996 pts 13 yrs off - 207.1 m - Paris was easy, but I really blew the date. Those cars looked earlier to me.
7561 pts 7 yrs off - 339.4 km - Oops I was up in Medina instead of Mecca.
9678 pts 2 yrs off - 5.6 km - Got a little closer than I expected.
9993 pts 0 yrs off - 371.3 m - Canadian Mounty in the pic says this was one of those Quebec meetings in WWII.
9798 pts 2 yrs off - 93.6 m - A little early and disappointed I couldn't figure out the exact location.

42,126 -- It's been a while. I've been busy at work. I'm out of practice.

1)9991 pts 0 yrs off - 432.9 m -- Pretty straightforward with the year given.
2) 9679 pts 0 yrs off - 55.2 km -- Saw the Palestinian flag. I guessed around Jerusalem and figured it was before WW2.
3) 5997 pts 20 yrs off - 152.5 m -- Figured it was pre-WW2, so I was way late.
4) 8960 pts 2 yrs off - 340.5 km -- Picked Istanbul instead of Ankara.
5) 7499 pts 9 yrs off - 66.4 m -- The cars were blurry but they looked very old. I picked way to early.

45,859. Got Johnny Depp at Cannes on the nose and, though off by.a year or two, got the Adriatic Sea clue as we've taken the Lokrum Island ferry.

[Pelado]

Don't worry, I'm here to make everyone feel better about their score - 34565

9948 - 1 year, 94.4 m - didn't know what movie it was for, but guessed Cannes but zeroed in on the wrong building. Somewhat lucky to be just one year off.
7379 - 8 years, 5.3 km - Just watched a few travel videos with the Mrs. about Dubrovnik a week or so ago but was still off a bit on the actual location and, as usual, on the timing.
9600 - 3 years, 9.5 m - I was looking all over San Francisco's Chinatown for King Street before I took a closer look at the picture and saw the Washington license plate. Didn't notice the year in the picture.
2756 - 21 years, 1488.4 km - Saw the advertising for Swiss-something or other so went with Zurich in part for that and in part as a hedge. Saw 01 02 on the scoreboard, so tried 2001. Nope.
4882 - 18 years, 617.8 km - Couldn't make out the words on the sign behind them, but looked like it might be German or Scandinavian. Hedged with Copenhagen. With the big smile on the one girl's face, I didn't think of WWII at all, so ended up way too late.

40,540

1) 9599 pts 3 yrs off - 71.5 m -- Figured it was Canne with the flags and the beach guessing it was the film festival. The cars looked really old in it, but there was an EU flag in the mix, so I figured it was at lease mid 90s. I guessed too late.
2) 8999 pts 1 yrs off - 450.7 km -- First I thought it was a French flag up top, bug figured out it was probably Yugoslavia. I guessed up by Italy so I was a ways off.
3) 9996 pts 0 yrs off - 195.1 m -- Saw the Washington license plate. Was able to find Kings St. in Seattle pretty easily.
4) 5000 pts 21 yrs off - 8.4 m -- Found Braga in Spain, but totally messed up the year. Seeing 01 02 on the scoreboard, I figured one of those was the year.
5) 6946 pts 11 yrs off - 2.1 km -- The hats and a couple of the shoes clued in Amsterdam to me. I guessed way too early. I should have paid more attention to the car in the background.

39,137

8641 pts 5 yrs off - 39.7 km - I was just up the coast in Monaco and a little early.
5350 pts 10 yrs off - 1299.7 km - I was off the coast of Spain and a decade late.
9992 pts 0 yrs off - 417.5 m - They gave you the year on the photo. King street was fairly easy to find in Seattle.
6084 pts 7 yrs off - 1632.3 km - I had no clue. I hedged middle of Europe by picking Frankfurt and 2015 was a little too early.
9070 pts 0 yrs off - 429.6 km - Looked like it was just before Germany invaded in WWII, I picked Paris, whiffing on the giveaway hats.

45,492

1) 9299 pts 4 yrs off - 69.3 m -- Saw Monaco on her lanyard. I would have considered it anyways with the background. Didn't recognize Kate Moss, but it did remind of the super model drinking coffee on the bus a while ago. Was that Kate Moss too? I guessed a few years too late.
2) 9956 pts 0 yrs off - 1.5 km -- First thought was New Orleans, because I thought the place in the background said Mardi Lodge. But decided it was probably Welch with the Num above it and it didn't say Mardi. The other thing that led me to Wales was the dragon feet next to the year.
3) 8038 pts 6 yrs off - 65.5 km -- I searched high and low and couldn't find Linwood on the map. It was there apparently though. I think I guessed to early.
4) 8399 pts 6 yrs off - 63.1 m -- I was thinking it was the coronation, so I guessed a few years too late.
5) 9800 pts 2 yrs off - 1.1 m -- The location didn't jump out to me, but I put it together pretty quickly. Guessed 2 years too late.

38,481

7731 pts 6 yrs off - 169.1 km - Down the coast in Marseille and a little late.
5400 pts 0 yrs off - 5498.6 km - Year was a gimme, but I was in Philly.
7152 pts 10 yrs off - 61.9 km - Couldn't find Linwood and a decade too early.
9800 pts 2 yrs off - 2.8 m - Easy location.
8398 pts 7 yrs off - 118.2 m - Easy location. I threw caution to the wind picking 2024.
