Tried again "Your guess was 0.781 km from the correct location and gave 6413 points", so seems like max is 6500 for a single guess, if you hit 0.000km from correct location. I was at 0.008 km from the correct location, did not think about that though, Ill "cheat" and check though. Edit: Your guess was 0.013 km from the correct location and gave 6478 points. (Didnt have to cheat, they put me outside the Leninmausoleum, this might be a record with some work.) My record is 24114, with only walking around, no maps/google. | ||

It's really fun to try and piece together where you are. Feel like a detective. It's kind of annoying though when you get some innocuous place clearly in like Australia or Russia which means you'll be in the right country but maybe thousands of miles off. Australia tends to be more desert in the middle and cities on the coast. I guess with those countries you could just pick the center most point you can. | ||

.The second game went a lot better and looking at cars, signs, ads got me the exact city/village on four of them and the fifth was on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere. Environment looked Italian and when I finally saw a farmhouse with a name sign over the letter box saying Perkovic I figured it's probably Croatia, and it was. | ||

Edit: just mistook South Africa for West Coast USA and got 43 points. We should make some contests for such low scores too. | ||

MY BEST. Does anyone know how to review the questions again after seeing the answer? I'd like to go back and see if there were any clues I missed. Like in the Brazil answer from my result. | ||

second was a house and a bushy streat with subtropian /mediterrian vegeation and sea with clouds in the background. i guessed south africa, it was hawai. third was a street in the middle of nowhere with boreal vegatation. i guessed it was finland, but it was somwhere in canada. 4th was a street in the middle of nowhere with betula pendula wood vegatation, frost-dmgd streets and yellow street markings, i guessed it was in northern sibiria. It was somewhere in north usa 5th was leftdrivers in a town wich had a shield "victoria place", i guessed somewhere in the middle of england, it was north scotland though. somehow funny, whenever there is no language evidince, and there is just nothing but a street and trees, no vehicles, nothing, i think it might be very norhtern europe / asia, and always is usa / canada. Seems like the author of this is american. | ||
