1) Red square. Looks late 90s. Didn't think this would still be USSR. 25 metes. 6 years, 8400. 2) Thai script, cars look 50s. 0 years. 687m. 9986. 3) JPL is were they do the rovers, in Pasadena. Porg means we are post 2017. 0 years, 4km. 9908. 4) Portugese -- Brazil or Portugal? I'll plonk Lisbon in the 30s. 7 years, 800m. 8383. 5) Korea, only see a few phones. 2 years, 7km 9670. Solid score for me: 46,347
1) Red Square, 1992 (10,000). 2) Is it Hindi what I read? And they drive on the left. Aliens Sci-Fi movies were very popular during the second half of the 50s. South India, Bombay, 1958 (5,898). 3) I know that NASA has different research centres: in Houston, Virginia and Ames (Silicon Valley) at least. I am off to Ames, CA, 2005 (5,900). 4) A bullfight in Lisbon in 1946. Areeiro bullring ticket office (8,832). 5) Seoul shopping area, 2016 (9,168). FINAL SCORE: 39,897 Remarks: - On the Lisbon sign it is written “1946”. Anyway, two bad ones: location in Thailand and year in NASA (I completely missed that figure was a character of the new Star Wars movies…).
A complete fail on two locations and some mediocre year guesses for me today. In R3, I went with Houston. Then R4 was even worse. I could not decipher the text but was pretty sure it is Portuguese, which led me to São Paulo ... somehow ignoring that the people did not look Brazilian. Years off: 2, -5, -4, 4, 0. Total: 38,865
Wisdom, except for Figbug, I think all of us have made atypical mistakes today. Regarding differentiating Brazil from Portugal, if you see winter clothes, it can not possibly be Brazil.

@@relander6459 Indeed, in R2--R4 it was basically impossible to get perfect locations even if we got the city correct.
