Ran it about ten times usually between 1500 and 3000. High-score of 3264 with one 1000-pointer in there.

Re: OT Rabbit hole
JOhn Yes, itis annoying that they don't give you the actual correct answers in therms of what is going on... maddening..

Re: OT Rabbit hole
I wonder how they score them? Looks like it's 1000 if you get it right on the year & 900+ if you get within one year, ... but I wonder how much they deduct per year. But it IS a rabbit hole!

Re: OT Rabbit hole
3375 - got within 1 year on 3 of 5, but was off by 18 years on one (I thought 1932 and it was 1950 and 6 years on the other 2005/2011). On 1/31/2023 2:02 AM, Paul Sorenson wrote: Well, I scored 3437.

Re: OT Rabbit hole
Ok I did it again this morning.. and did screen shots of my answers got 3387 with one 1000 pointer - Here is what I saw: (1) map of holland on wall - happy people 1945 I got this one right on end of WWII so 1000 pts (2) USA 1950 looks like arizona or nevada.. I guessed 1954 the womens clothes and the camera bag kid was carrying did the decade for me (3) I guessed 1928 answer was 1921 dk where taken (4) funeral shot.. dk where .. I guessed 1930s it was 1926 but I had the event right - death of RUdolph Valentino (I looked it up later) (5) I guessed 1995 - lt was 1992 -street scene narrow streets all Asians in street and all signage in Asian characters - tall modern building in background. I got 3387 - this was my 4th try at the quiz .. earlier I didnt even crack 2000 But where does it show you the locations? That is the exact answers? disappointing... ann On 2/1/2023 3:23 AM, mike wilson wrote: Yet most of the pictures I get to see seem to be more centred upon the USA, or things relating to it like the Vietnam war.

Re: OT Rabbit hole
If it is pop culture stuff in the USA I'm an ignoramus too.. interesting about what you see I saw nothing from the USA.. it is rather intriguing I may go back to it now and then.. However, it can't help that between 1960 and 1980 I had no TV.. but funny that you posted this quiz at the same time that I put a photo on FB, including our private PDML page that asked where was I when I took the photo :-) asked people answering to comment without revealing the name of the city to everyone to message me privately with the name or say something that would show they knew without naming the city exactly. ann On 2/1/2023 3:23 AM, mike wilson wrote: Yet most of the pictures I get to see seem to be more centred upon the USA, or things relating to it like the Vietnam war.

Re: OT Rabbit hole
3905 - I was lucky. A group of Japanese women standing next to some tar and paper sheds; a street scene with a poster for a Stallone film and a racing car start line with everyone dressed in gnomex suits were easy to date to within a decade. The Stallone one was dead on. If you run it again, you get a different set of images. > On 31/01/2023 07:02 Paul Sorenson wrote: > > > Well, I scored 3437.
