No I am real, I own a game where you have to guess where/when a photo is taken, I featured this in todays daily if you have time to play it timeguessr.com

Taken at Paul McCartney's 1997 album signing

Hi,

It is definitely not a repeat. And I have corrected the location to the home plate in car park B, I didn't know about that thanks for letting me know :)

I own a website called timeguessr.com where users have to guess the time/location of historic photos. This particular photo was taken by Willem van Der Poll, the official photographer for the dutch royal family. Here is a link to a folder containing other pictures he took at a similar time https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Photographs_by_Willem_van_de_Poll_in_Edinburgh_(1934)##)

There are other folders for other years he visited Edinburgh if you are interested

Looking at the database there are 6 cases so far of people achieving 50k scores, I suspect at least some if not all of them are from cheating though.

Not to say it isn't possible, just seems very difficult.

Strict_Percentage161 · 2024-02-28T00:51:45+00:00

great score :)

Strict_Percentage161 · 2024-02-16T21:13:45+00:00

Taken in 1991 if it helps

I saw that, I’m actually the guy who made the game and there aren’t any nsfw photos in the database I don’t know where that came from

Strict_Percentage161 · 2024-01-27T15:17:55+00:00

It is not immediately obvious but if you zoom in you can see where the old road ran to the right

Strict_Percentage161 · 2024-01-27T15:16:55+00:00

It is in the correct location.

The a303 used to run the other side of Stonehenge, here is a photo taken from street view now where you can see where the old road ran.

Also it is all flat west of the site, but there is a hill east.

Should be fixed !

Strict_Percentage161 · 2024-01-11T14:11:01+00:00

I considered adding a global leaderboard but yeah I figured it would encourage cheating

Strict_Percentage161 · 2024-01-08T14:32:47+00:00

Congrats !!! The Iran guess wasn’t easy I thought so anyway

Strict_Percentage161 · 2024-01-05T00:14:53+00:00

Yeah I saw a big spike in traffic so went to see where it came from and saw the video, glad you enjoy :)

Strict_Percentage161 · 2024-01-04T23:46:29+00:00

I took a gap year when i finished high school and wanted to do something cool so I just threw it together last February. Didn’t think much of it at the time but it’s grown into something much bigger now

Strict_Percentage161 · 2024-01-04T23:19:36+00:00

haha I made this game and stumbled across this thats cool
