    44,745. Knew all of the locations, somehow got Estonia but was off on the year by a bit.
    Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

      I always have the Time Fixers jingle stuck in my head when I pull up this game.

        Maybe I'm confused but if you guessed Estonia in today's game and still got a 44,745 I'm very impressed!

          I just went to their website and just did the first game that came up. I think it was just a random game, the Estonian flag was fairly prominent. Ever since the last Finnish prime minister came around, I've become dedicated to learning more about the Nordic peoples.

            I did today's game and got 43,074. I bombed on the date for the photo in Africa. Also wasn't close on the picture inside the cathedral/basilica. Nailed the three others.

                34.413. Once again started strong with Moscow and one year off, but then got worse. Mistook Italian communism for the Spanish variety, Swedish Mayday for English, and Bangkok Chinatown for Koala Lumpur. Was a country away from Slovenia.

                  Missed some obvious clues today that did me in. Should have picked up on the Swedish colors on the Maypole. Also the word "vota"

                    37,427 today. I saw the Sweden colored ribbon on the Maypole and thought "I'm not falling for the banana in the tailpipe today" (the Iceland one the other day got me with the Sweden colors) and went with England. Tried Taiwan instead of Bangkok and got crushed on the year. Went Czech Republic instead of Slovenia.

                      Yeah, that looks like something right out of the English countryside. I did the same.

                        39,345. I did very well on all of them but Sweden. Sweden was my first guess, but I saw all the fat people and decided it had to be America.

                          41,437. so hard to tell the dates in third world countries (eastern europe, thailand, etc.).
