Professor Pennington's Experiments in Time Travel No.1 [GUESS THE YEAR - WIN 3 SBD]

in contest •  7 years ago  (edited)

3 SBD PRIZE for the first person to guess the correct year of the photograph below.



Hello, I'm Professor Pennington.

I'm a bit of an eccentric inventor, mad scientist sort of chap.

I'm sure you know the sort.

Recently I've been working on something super top secret.

And finally I've got it working - well almost anyway 😊

It's a time machine.

That surprised you didn't it? I'm not sure you believe me do you?

Well I have proof.

I do have a little problem though with the machine at the moment. The Reverse Chronometer Display Diode keeps blowing up!

It's nothing serious, just a few bangs and sparks. I'm sure I'll get it fixed soon.

But it does mean I can't tell what year I travelled back to you.

And there is one other rather big problem...

I get in the machine, set the dial, press the button and... pooof. Twenty four hours later I am back in the lab and I can't remember a thing. Eventually the memory comes back but it takes a while.

So this last trip I took a camera with me. Unfortunately only one picture came out.

Here it is. I seem to have met some lovely young ladies at a school.

Can you guess what year I travelled to?

Thank you everyone for your help with calibrating my time machine. I've now managed to enhance the photograph and the year was 1946.

Congratulations to @knowledge-seeker for being the first person to correctly guess the year.

You can read more about the photograph and the Convent High School, Loughborough in my History Archive

1954, my father's birth year.

Thank you for your entry @hethur240. You were close but not quite there.

1983, go random number!

Thank you for your entry and the resteeem. You are also too recent.

1955, the bottom right girl looks like my mom!

Thank you for entering @wholesomeroots. Wow did I meet your mother on my time travels?

1949?

This is incredible!

My guess is the Class of 1938

Thank you for entering @overthewait. Sorry you were a wee bit too old on this one.

1972 maybe
judging the hairstyle

Thank you for your entry and the resteem. Unfortunately you are not correct. You are a bit too recent.

this looks like a black and white picture so I'll guess 1942 the year my mother was born :)

Hi @freakygeak. Thank you for entering. You were close, but no cigar.

oh gees :O can't wait to see the answer :)

I will guess 1946

Congratulations @knowledge-seeker, you were spot on.

You have achieved the Time Travel Assistant bronze badge. And your reward of 3 SBD should now be with you.

I can not believe I won! Thank you for doing this contest. I will be looking forward to the next one.

congrats on the win well done :) I was four years too early in my guess :)

Thanks! I almost went with a different date, so needless to say I am glad I didn't. Best of luck on the next contest!

1960

Hi @christ2169, thank you for entering. A bit too young on the guess I'm afraid.

I have just followed you to find out more about what goes on in Borneo.

1948

So very close, but not quite. Thanks for entering.

1956! Is my guess!

Hi @farmstead, thank you for finding the time to enter this contest during your eclipsical weekend. You were a bit too young this time.

So cool!

Close, almost, but not quite. Thank you.
