4580. Helps if you recognise the current affairs. Gay marriage, Arab spring, London Blitz came up. Leaving me with a party with a mix of drab and 70s disco clothing so I guessed 1981 and was close enough!

The one that got me was some people at a beach in black and white.

I recognized the Arab spring and the London blitz.

The gay marriage one I couldn't put a date, but noticed a flip phone on the picture so I just guessed the highest number before iPhone release year and wasn't too bad.

The disco scene was clearly a 70s Pic so I just guessed smack in the middle of the decade.

The beach black and white I was the most off. I faintly remember that it was a big discussion point during the 20s that women should be allowed to wear "revealing" swimsuits,so again I went for a year in the decade. I was off
