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 didn't really recognize any of the current events - or anything at all - I just ... kind of knew ...

In fact, it had less to do with the actual content of the photo than the qualities of the photo itself ... I sort of felt like photos looked like that around 1990 ... and I was right.
