8623 pts 3 yrs off - 476.9 km - I was in Berlin. Germany and I are not on the same page today.

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.
4) 9716 pts 1 yrs off - 33.4 km - Kids were wearing traditional clothes from Holland. I just guessed Amsterdam.
5) 9792 pts 2 yrs off - 419.9 m - Recognized the location in New York, near the roundabout at the south west corner of central park.

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.
8168 pts 7 yrs off - 33.0 km - I too was in Amsterdam.
5689 pts 5 yrs off - 2133.6 km - I picked Oklahoma City.

37,875 - kind of in a slump.

6774 pts 12 yrs off - 31.4 km - A bit late.
8987 pts 3 yrs off - 112.6 km - Down in Paris, a little late.
8255 pts 6 yrs off - 11.2 km - A little late.
7949 pts 7 yrs off - 87.7 km - A little early.

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.

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.

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.

44495 - among my best ever.

9940 - 1 year, 495.7 m - wrong tree-lined lane.
9755- 1 year, 23.7 km - didn't notice any clues for the exact town, selected near the mountains coming from Calgary.
8890 - 5 years, 478.7 m - Just down the street and a bit too late since I thought the cars would be older there.
6000 - 16 years, 19.4 m - Don't remember there being a ferris wheel, but I walked right through there last year. Photo looked like it was on film to me, so I ended up guessing way too early.
9910 - 1 year, 1.3 km - Thought they must be on a boat in the harbor. Got the correct angle but the wrong location. Figured it was late in Reagan's presidency, but went a year too early.

46,845

1) 8898 pts 5 yrs off - 78.8 m -- Picked too late
2) 9953 pts 0 yrs off - 1.7 km -- The year was fuzzy, but I believed it was right on the sign. Gave us the city.
3) 8944 pts 1 yrs off - 505.6 km j-- Didn't have much of a clue on the location. But it looked like the flyer near the front of the photo had something that looked like a pole vaulter and may have said Berlin on it, so having nothing else I went with Berlin 1936
4) 9798 pts 2 yrs off - 87.1 m -- Got the decade because the cameraman vest had 201X on it. I stumbled on the location quickly which was lucky.
5) 9252 pts 4 yrs off - 1.7 km -- Didn't look hard enough because I though Grosvenor Gardens would be close to Grosvenor Square. Not that close. I guessed too early.

The two London locations were easy, but was 5 years too early at Piccadilly Circus. I was in Spain instead of Columbia and Budapest instead of Munich.

39948 - felt like I was doing much better than that. Guess I forgot about the second one.

9596 - 3 years, 211.7 m - Took me a minute to see the "Apple Park" on the tablets.
5463 - 9 years, 1074.1 km - Didn't recognize the building, went with Shanghai since it is somewhat central to all the places I thought it might be. Can't remember if I was early or late.
9994 - 0 years, 278.2 m - It's nice when they print the location and year right on the photo. Couldn't tell from which angle the photo was shot, so just plopped the pin down in the middle of what was labelled as Luna Park on the map.
6513 - 10 years, 486.9 km - First thought was the Falklands, but it was too recent for the conflict. Considered near Buenos Aires but the land in the background looked much more rural, so I went near Bahia Blanca as a hedge for the Argentine coastline.
8382 - 6 years, 904.2 m - Saw Amsterdam and, I though, 1941 on the letter. Mistook the 7 for a 1, I guess.

38,299 -- Consistently guessed too recently.

1) 9596 pts 3 yrs off - 211.3 m
2) 4852 pts 11 yrs off - 1295.4 km -- Didn't see any Japanese characters but didn't look very hard.
3) 9991 pts 0 yrs off - 448.0 m -- The one time I didn't guess late. The date was on the photo.
4) 7910 pts 1 yrs off - 1079.4 km -- Figured it was Argentina but had no idea where. I went close to Buenos Aires thinking most activity would be close to there. I should have hedged.
5) 5950 pts 20 yrs off - 1.9 km -- Looked way more recent than that. I should have thought the dress looked more 30s/40s style.

They were on the left-hand side of the boat. I just couldn't tell if they were Japanese, Chinese, or some other characters.

Right. I thought those were Chinese although they are a little blurry.
