45,788. Was very good on locations--I've spent lots of time in two of the cities/towns (my mission), and another is essentially my home town. Not so good on the years other than my home town.

I didn’t remember the exact year of the earth quake but luckily I wasn’t too far off.

i wish I would have read the Salzburg signs a little closer. I probably could have gotten a closer location with that.

1.6 m on the first one is the closest I've come. I thought Suriname was a trick so I missed that one badly.

1) 9800 pts 2 yrs off - 16.9 m -- too early
2) 6926 pts 11 yrs off - 3.4 km -- I thought it might be an end of the great war celebration
3) 9932 pts 1 yrs off - 905.5 m
4) 9258 pts 4 yrs off - 1.4 km -- The words word not quite German and the A. Dam. led me to Amsterdam.
5) 9203 pts 0 yrs off - 297.1 km -- I looked cross the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand for those areas of town listed on the bus. I thought it might be in Scotland but hedge my location with Birmingham.

46,032 - Did well on location. Not great on dates


1) 9230 pts 4 yrs off - 3.2 km - Guessed to recently and was at the foot of the wrong bridge in London. I thought it miight be across from parliament.
2) 9924 pts 0 yrs off - 3.5 km - Went with the most likely location in Greece. Lucky on the year.
3) 9294 pts 1 yrs off - 155.6 km - The first car looked like it was from Belgium, but the rest of the scene said Germany. I figured it was a German city close to Belgium and considered Cologne but went with Frankfurt.
4) 8836 pts 5 yrs off - 2.8 km - Writing looked Hungarian and there are lots of photos from Budapest, so I went there. I thought it might be during the war.
5) 8748 pts 5 yrs off - 13.1 km - Went with the West side of Johannesburg close to Soweto. Guessed too late near the year of MJ's death.

I was on the wrong end of the Tower Bridge and just a little early. I did pretty good on locations, but father off on time today.

man, I suck at this game
I'm embarassed to put my score up

This game is really fun, but I decided a couple months ago that it's just too time consuming for me to play on a daily basis. I have the type of personality that won't just let me guess and move on. I spend too long analyzing the pictures. That says more about me than it does about the game itself, but I can live with that. I've had the most fun with it when I sit on my laptop with my 15 year old, 11 year old, and 9 year old around and we all scour the picture together for clues.

I haven't posted about it much lately (esp, not today, with an embarrassing 35,000 performance), but I play every day and have fun text exchanges with my two oldest daughters who also play. But I have more time on my hands than you or most here. In fact, except when I'm heading out for an early round, before I start my exercise routine I will have played Wordle, Quordle, three different Octordle games, Strands, Connections, Spelling Bee, and Timeguessr. Takes about an hour, and I don't have to bill anyone. Life is good.

Same. Because I would spend an hour just on that game alone.
