Great idea! The trick is to zoom into peoples clothing, and then the associated event becomes quite obvious. Eg. Photo of Disco, no crazy lapels, obviously towards the end of disco, which puts you within a year or two.

Might have gotten lucky but zooming in on clothing got me to 1.8 years off on average (top 2%).

I just went by feel of each and got 2.4 year average, also top 2%. I guess it doesn't do higher than top 2% then.

What is the end of disco?

I'm not sure why that would mean it doesn't go higher than top 2%, it would only imply the scores you ended up with were in the same percentage bracket.

Confirming this, it looks like you indeed get top 0% when you end on a perfect score of 5000 with an average of 0 years off.

Which year: guess which year each photo was taken
