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

I was very similar to you on every answer (41,252), including Barcelona, Prague, and Amsterdam, and went with NYC rather than London or Hollywood. In the Eiffel Tower pic, I think I know which guy you're talking about and he does appear like a bit like me, but I hope my pants never look that baggy...

I was wearing baggy jeans with tapered legs back in high school around the time this photo actually took place. I believe they were Levi’s 560’s.

PAC is a skinny jean adherent.

1) 9096 pts 2 yrs off - 204.1 km -- It was a velodrome, so I figured there was a good chance it was Barcelona since they had the Olympics. I saw that it said Palma on the program and forgot to look for that.
2) 7481 pts 9 yrs off - 935.0 m -- Picked the wrong side of the Eiffel Tower and picked too late. I thought I saw PAC in there taking a photo, so I guess around the time he took a trip to Gibraltar.
3) 8900 pts 5 yrs off - 20.2 m -- Found the location since it said Praha on the Hotel sign, I thought the cars looked pretty recent, but the image quality was low that got me to pick too early.
4) 9865 pts 1 yrs off - 4.1 km -- Saw Amsterdam on the box. Looked like a depression era picture.
5) 4962 pts 1 yrs off - 8755.7 km -- All the restaurants in the background seemed to agree with Hollywood for me. I knew the movie this was a premier for. I should have noticed all the scarfs and warm clothing the photographers were wearing which wouldn't have been likely in Hollywood.

38,450

8556 pts 3 yrs off - 543.6 km - I was up in Madrid and a little late.
7500 pts 8 yrs off - 28.8 m - I picked too early.
8356 pts 4 yrs off - 443.9 km - I was down in Budapest and a little late.
9226 pts 4 yrs off - 3.4 km - Got the right city, and just a little late.
4812 pts 2 yrs off - 8756.8 km - Tough one with the night shot. I picked LA.

41961

6950 - 11 years, 1.8 km - The writing at the bottom seemed to have "La" on it. Thought it might be the news of Pearl Harbor, but foolishly went with early 1950s
9945 - 1 years, 259.0 m - Lucky on the year guess
8738 - 2 years, 562.3 km - The lady and the colors screamed Peru, went with Lima.
9600 - 3 years, 10.3 m - A bit early
6728 - 5 years, 1344.3 km - My initial thought was the Mediterranean, but the writing on the guy's shirt seemed to be in English and thought it might say "Land Enders". I didn't see a spot that fit near Land's End, but selected it anyway.

39,465 - Some tough ones today.

1) 9580 pts 3 yrs off - 977.8 m -- Saw a 38 in the writing on the side, so went with that year. Saw the city hall in the background so I knew it was LA.
2) 7496 pts 9 yrs off - 224.3 m -- Had no idea when any Prince ascended to the throne in Monaco. I picked too late.
3) 7827 pts 5 yrs off - 573.3 km -- Thought it was Peru because the police officer's patch was similar to the Peruvian flag and the Alpaca. I saw what I thought said capital in the poster and Lima was as good of a pick as any. I was suspicious that it was 2024 but couldn't convince myself to go past 2019.
4) 9950 pts 1 yrs off - 4.4 m -- I remember this was near the end of his presidency. I guessed a year too late.
5) 4612 pts 3 yrs off - 9982.5 km -- The sign in the background said Hotel Santa Maria.... I think. I was thinking a Mexican resort. I picked Puerta Vallarta. Really tough one.

35,100 - I did poorly today.

5713 pts 0 yrs off - 3937.4 km - I blew this by picking NYC.
6997 pts 11 yrs off - 161.1 m - Picked too late.
8878 pts 1 yrs off - 572.0 km - I was down in Lima.
9600 pts 3 yrs off - 8.1 m - A little early. I love the picture.
3912 pts 5 yrs off - 9874.3 km - With the long pants, I picked a beach in California, and a little late.

40,205

9987 pts 0 yrs off - 643.6 m - A little lucky on the year because I didn't recognize the boy band.
8596 pts 3 yrs off - 504.0 km - I changed from Toronto to Montreal and a little early.
9260 pts 4 yrs off - 1.3 km - Easy location.
5981 pts 17 yrs off - 938.3 m - I was way too late on this one, but a little lucky to get as close as I did.
6381 pts 10 yrs off - 619.5 km I was a decade too early and on the wrong end of the country. I was up in Thessaloniki.

[beefytee]

39,849 -- One really bad guess

1) 9950 pts 1 yrs off - 28.2 m -- Not sure what it says about me that I knew where this would be and about what year.
2) 8900 pts 5 yrs off - 14.0 m -- Bay St is the big financial street in Canada similar to Wall St in the US, so it wasn't hard for me to find the location. I guessed too early, I believe.
3) 9815 pts 1 yrs off - 8.8 km -- Picked the wrong mosque in Istanbul but wasn't too far away. I went with Camlica instead of Suleyman.
4) 2618 pts 54 yrs off - 1764.5 km -- Big miss here when I should have known better. Mixed up Morocco and Tunesia when I knew better. Also, though it was the Arab spring.
5) 8566 pts 3 yrs off - 534.1 km -- Picked a nice central location in Greece to hedge on location and then of course it was out on Crete.

45,035 -- Did it with my son.

1) 9512 pts 3 yrs off - 4.3 km -- Should have spent more time trying to find the street. A few years early.
2) 9733 pts 0 yrs off - 41.6 km -- Went by Mont Blanc. Didn't think to look for a city name thinking it was just ski runs.
3) 9224 pts 4 yrs off - 3.5 km -- A few years too late.
4) 9189 pts 2 yrs off - 110.9 km -- This is one that has been on there, at least the classroom was. I knew it was Hungary. I didn't remember the exact location and went with Budapest.
5) 7377 pts 8 yrs off - 5.7 km -- Found the city and lots of streets with the other name. Guessed a ways away.

[Bo Diddley]

26,001 - Oh that was a bad one. I was spot on in front of the Odion for the Harry Potter premier but a year late. Otherwise sucked badly. I was in San Antonio instead of Calgary and was off on the rest of the years badly.

[beefytee]

34,592 My worst game in a while
1) 9822 pts 1 yrs off - 7.1 km - Probably the most straightforward one for date and location.
2) 6998 pts 14 yrs off - 102.3 m - I knew with the lack of a skyline, it was a long time ago. I didn't go back near long enough.
3) 2512 pts 8 yrs off - 10855.7 km - Should have paid more attention to the North American style license plates.Didn't recognize the flags or anything. Once again guessed way too late.
4) 5964 pts 16 yrs off - 1.0 km - Once again guessed way too late.
5) 9296 pts 4 yrs off - 176.3 m - I believe I guessed late on this one. I guessed late on every single one today.

41867

9798 - 2 years, 110.3 m - a little early thinking the distance might be because of Covid
9894 - 1 year, 2.2 km - Initially was going to go with the right year but opted for one year later. Selected random spot in London though was intending to go closer to Kensington Palace. Looks like my random pin location was closer to actual than Kensington Palace would have been.
6330 - 6 years, 1139.4 km - I thought Italy
8354 - 7 years, 1.6 km - Almost guessed much later but the fashion convinced me to go early 80s (should have gone mid-70s).
7491 - 3 years, 1217.1 km - I thought the backdrop looked like it could be an aqueduct, and with the "Futuro" name, I thought Italy (again).

44,501

guessed Croatia instead of Romania and Italy instead of Manchester.

Did well on time for this one, for once, biggest miss was 4 years for the one in London.
