3830 some of these are really difficult.

Some photos of city scenes in France, Germany, Poland (see posters etc in languages) - look at fashions. Guess 1986. Turns out to be 2001!

Not sure the supposed actual dates are correct on some of them mind - one was apparently 1999 but the electrical items in the image didn't come out until early 2000s.

4338, one of the photos was the clean up on/around 9/11.

I thought I'd done very well with 4063 until I saw this

Yeah, I had a shot of a school classroom with 5 1/4" floppy drives that was 2003 apparently. Actually maybe that is realistic

Fun time water though, thanks OP

I wonder how many will admit they got the photo wrong of the overheating car with Ill 1952 plates :cry:

My old secondary school still had some BBCs with 5 1/4" drives in use up until about then (probably more like 2000) - one of my old teachers got in contact with me when they disposed of them in case I wanted them.

The selection can vary hugely - some I can nail the exact date, others are foreign scenes where I just don't know enough about the country to even get the right decade. Get a few with clues you can pick up on and it is a lot easier to get higher scores.

3193 for me, was fun - thanks for sharing

Must admit I have no idea how they get the dates or verify any of them beyond the obvious/more recent ones.

3069 - nice!

petridish · 24 Mar 2023 at 15:49

Done today's daily one: 3772. First three were one year out each time then I was about 20 years out on the fourth and exact on the last. Could have been my best score without the fourth.

Raymond Lin · 24 Mar 2023 at 15:57

3303.

I was 1 out on one photo but that one was easy, a Nazi Youth camp.

3 out on another that was a photo of someone in the Oscars and I could spot Jared Leto.

Ah didn't know that's what 1 was, but I reasoned it was German and between wars.

Just realised you can share score. Much easier than trying to describe each photo:
I got a score of 3772 on today's Chronophoto: 24/03/2023
Round 1: 924
Round 2: 924
Round 3: 924
Round 4: 0

Round 5: 1000

Best round 3499.

It is fun, wish it would be longer than 5 rounds.

Clicked the above daily link just now and got an annoying advert on auto-repeat in the top right corner.

Thanks for finding another type of quiz that I’m rubbish at. I even managed to get the one that had the date written in it wrong.

How did people get near the date of Japanese street scenes? I guessed 10-15 years too early on all of them…
