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

46,334. So close to an all time great score. My only real miss was the soccer match. I guessed Liverpool as the location, because I couldn't place it but I knew it wasn't London. I was off by 3 years. I guessed Milan on the Italy race car but was off by 3 years again. All the others were gimmes.

44,760. My downfall was being 14 yrs off on the Italy thing. And I was two years off with FDR as he looked a lot healthier than I thought he would in '44.

34,130 - turrible

[Bo Diddley]

37,477 - I should have gone with my first inclinations on a few of these like picking Rome over Northern Italy and Bucharest over Istanbul. And I know Mr. Bean was trying to get to Cannes, so I picked a train station there instead of Paris.

42,225 - Worse score than yesterday, but it was tough today. I don't feel that bad.

1)
8816 pts
0 yrs off - 683.7 km - I saw this movie. Considering the palm trees and the likelihood of him attending the Cannes Film Festival, or a movie premiere (I don't remember), the Nice train station seemed like a reasonable guess. It was not.

2)
7857 pts
1 yrs off - 1185.2 km - Didn't distinguish the Italian from Spanish. I was worried it would be south America. I picked Madrid. As I was clicking the submit button, I was thinking, "I think I am close on the year, the scooter reminds me of Roman Holiday". . I would have guessed much closer picking Italy. Switzerland never crossed my mind.

3)
5911 pts
18 yrs off - 4.3 km - I was happy I figured out South Africa with the English, what looked like Dutch, and the segregationist language. I picked waaaay too early.

4)
9776 pts
1 yrs off - 18.5 km - Wasn't sure where the Facebook Campus was but dropped a pin in Silicon Valley. Got close on the year with the phones.

5)
9865 pts
0 yrs off - 8.8 km - Lots of signs said Turkey on them. With the EU bumper sticker, I picked the wrong side of the Golden Horn. Got really lucky on the year.

45,152. It helped that I was never more than five years off, and was within a few meters of the train station (where one takes the TGV to Cannes) and the Facebook sign, past which I drove many hundreds of times while I worked in Palo Alto, although most of the time that was Sun Microsystems' campus.

Seeing that Facebook image, I was thinking of you. I was pretty sure you would get the location.

Yeah, me too. I picked somewhere half-way between SF and SJ.

Missed on the location of the gaggle of morons, guessed Kentucky

Ended up pretty good after my first 2 guesses were not good.

43,975

1)7709 pts
1 yrs off - 1482.4 km - No clue where this was. I picked NYC just because a lot of people live up that way.

40,615

1) 7725 pts 0 yrs off - 1549.2 km -- Saw the WKU and UM shirt. Figured Michigan was the swing state and went there.

2) 8851 pts 3 yrs off - 249.5 km -- They were all holding glasses. They weren't exactly steins but figured Oktoberfest was as good of a guess as any.

3) 4996 pts 22 yrs off - 205.5 m -- I thought the badge on the front of his shirt might have said 1932. All the cars did look about 30's vintage to me too.

4) 9828 pts 1 yrs off - 5.6 km -- Cyrillic and a .ua tld.

5) 9215 pts 1 yrs off - 235.4 km -- Brainfart on the year. Picked too far north.

9243 oyr 256km Saw a welcom home sign so went with FL
7647 6yr 252km Was going to post the middle of Germany but went with Munich to my detriment
5871 22yr 205m I was thinking 32 as well, but then went with 36 because a couple cars looked too recent to have fit in 32.
9936 0yr 2.8km This was a pretty obvious one but I didn't feel like mucking around with the map to get closer
4734 30yr 41km A couple of features looked older than WWII, so I went with WWI

48,714. Probably a PR, one lucky guess led to being off by a total of only one year.

1) 9643 pts
0 yrs off - 64.3 km. The relative absence of masks suggested Florida; went with somewhere in the middle on the coast.

2) 9339 pts
1 yrs off - 110.6 km. The languages suggested Sudetenland but went with Dresden.

3) 9935 pts
0 yrs off - 2.8 km. I knew it was Roger Bannister, presumably right after his sub-4; guessed the center of London.

4) 9879 pts
0 yrs off - Presumed Kyiv, but unsure where.

5). 9918 pts
0 yrs off -3.9 km A gimme on time; couldn't remember exactly where Juno Beach was.
