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

I'm guessing the point total is wrong on a few of those.

It should be about 9950 for your first one. Also, some of those point totals look eerily similar to Bo's.

Ha, yes. I sometimes cut and paste Bo's (I don't know how to copy my breakdown directly into my post without eating up too much storage on the site) and then edit accordingly, albeit mistakenly in this instance.

My first two scores were 9950 and 4873. Interestingly, I got the same score as Bo on no. 4, albeit with slightly different guesses.

42,225 with only one poor guess.

1) 9800 - 2 yrs - 16.4 m. I was wrong about when the queen died (I put 2023). Turned out it wasn't for her anyway.

2) 2635 - 28 yrs - 1730.6 km. Worst guess evar! I guessed Norway in like the 60s. This one really hurts.

3) 9894 - 1 yr - 2.2 km

4) 10000 - 0 yrs - 4.9 m I was going to guess early 40s but then thought Errol Flynn was after that. I was lucky to go later enough. I kind of based it on the clothing.

5) 9896 - 1 yr - 2.1 km

Errol Flynn's first big movie was Captain Blood in 1935. One of my favorite movies as a youth was his next big movie - The Adventures of Robin Hood - released in 1938.

I was going to go even earlier that I guessed (1951), but I saw a girl with a poodle skirt on. That's the only reason I got the decade right.

So literally copying!

When I go to breakdown, I do CNTL+A, CNTL+C, and then right click, paste as plain text.

45,521.

Same as everyone here, #2 killed me. I guessed remote Norway, and pre WWII 1941, but I was intrigued by all of the short rompers in a place that probably rarely gets over 75 degrees. I should have figured it was somewhere a little more temperate than Norway. I was also EXTREMELY distracted by the fact that the gentleman had only the bottom button of his 3-button suit buttoned. A real sartorial travesty. Pretty sure this was eventually the reason for WWII. Shame.

1- 9950, 1yr, 41m, Went with the queen, didn't even think about Phillip
2- 2755, 72yrs, 1490km, Got fooled by the flag and suit looked late 90s ish
3- 8579, 3yrs, 521km, Should have thought Berlin, but guessed post commie Warsaw
4- 10000, 0yr, 7m, probably the closest distance I can remember getting
5- 9557, 3yr, 1.4km, guessed east of the hotel. Pitch looked to close to be across the bay

YOU THOUGHT THAT DUDE AND ALL THE SCHOOL GIRLS WERE FROM THE 90S???? LIKE THE 1990S????

Yes! But only after I've completed the game.... Let me put my techno-ignorance on full display by asking if your instructions work with a Macbook, 'cuz that ain't gettin' it done. I can copy the breakdown by using Shift-Command 4, but that only produces an image of the breakdown which, I'm told, consumes excessive storage, and I don't see a way to paste it as plain text. Anyone who helps me resolve this problem can have my Jello at dinner this evening.

Never used Apple, so go fish!

Here I just did it from my mac:

49,797. (Select the total and hit Command-C), then hit Command-V to paste it here.


Then, after goinng into the breakdown screen, hitting Command-A, Command-C will produce what is below when hitting Command-V here. Then just clean it up.

It sucked not having a touch screen on the Mac and having to zoom in with the touch pad.

Where have you been with this useful information? I've tried to highlight the numbers to copy but that's never worked. I didn't think about CTRL+A.

[PaloAltoCougar]

Thanks, beefy! I'll put that to the test tomorrow.

I can't take credit. Someone else mentioned it before (probably BeefEater).
