🎉 Fun questions we keep getting (and love answering)


Why am I always 5 years off?

Because time is a flat circle, and 2009 feels like it just happened. You’re not alone. Everyone is either 5 years too early or 3 years too late. It’s Bygamp law.


Is this secretly a memory test?

Yes. And you’re doing great. But also no — it’s just for fun. Unless you’re trying to beat your cousin for bragging rights. Then it’s serious.


Are the clues getting harder, or am I just getting older?

A little bit of both. Welcome to temporal disorientation. It’s part of the charm.


Can I get a hint?

Sure: if the photo has frosted tips and flip phones, it’s probably early 2000s.


Is there a way to cheat?

Yes — it’s called learning stuff and building a freakishly good sense of historical context. We approve.
