I averaged 1.4 years out, so not too bad I guess. Mostly on fashion sense and cars/taxis/buses, but also a few other things like Downing Street gates, pedestrianization of Trafalgar Square, types of camera tourists are using. Surprisingly many little clues once you get into it.
- andybak 3y agoI got one really badly wrong (17 years for a 1990s video of the tube that felt more recent - there wasn't much to go on...) But 2 or 3 years for the others. Luckily I got one of the blitz!
- ta1243 3y agoOne that I had opened with "London 1987" at the start... That was easy, as was the 1908 Olympics one. Had one which had a ton of clues -- no smoking on the underground, Ongar still open, phone numbers being "01-xxx-xxxx" rather than 071, etc. A video shot in the 2010s would look very different quality than one in the 1990s though. And you'd see people on mobile phones.
- amiga386 3y agoBe careful on using video quality for the metagame, one of the videos is full colour, high-def, 50Hz but has squaddies in WW2 uniform: it's enhanced footage from 1945
- kps 3y agoI got 2.8, which I think is not too bad for a non-Brit, since I didn't ‘cheat’ by looking up clues I didn't already know.
- djmips 3y agoI was pretty happy to get 6 year average. I think getting approximately the right decade was all I was trying for.
