What's google going to do in 20 years when most of streetview looks like a postcard from the 1970's? That's what I want to know

Well, there's a picture of me with two friends on South Castle Street walking to an exam...I just can't remember what date it was though, and the exam paper doesn't seem to be online. If anyone can find out when the exam for the "Contemporary Theology" module was on last year then they'll have the answer...

The photos were taken at different times. If you look at the Whey Pat from the middle of the mini roundabout the blackboard to the far right of the pub is advertising the May Real Ale Festival. If you look at it straight on, or a little further down bridge street, it's saying we have Sky Sports, which we got in the middle of the summer.

Ale festival: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&sourc ... 1,,1,13.59


Sky Sports: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&sourc ... 81,,1,8.27

After looking at it for over an hour, I think its from different dates -

- Bin day (checking on the fife council website) is tuesday (I don't know about bin days, I always lived in halls), whilst the full moon is May 9th which is a saturday. However people are having exams, and exams were on the 16th-28th, which by then it would be quarter moon. If you assume otherwise, that the date is in june, New Hall wouldn't be so busy (as everybody has left for summer), and the grill house would probably be advertising Graduation dinner on their board outside. Also Reith's does not appear to be selling their "Graduation Bow Tie".

- Its 9.30 at the R & A clubhouse, whilst its 11.40 on Market street. It can't take that long to move from the 18th hole, to Market street. The clock at the old course hotel says 8.55am

-there are multiple instances where the photos seem to change time. (e.g. flowers, as mentioned above)

-Some people claimed to be photographed on the way to exams, whilst if it were 11.40, people would be leaving the exam halls - but in the photos it looks as if the people are waiting to go in??

-The whey pat tavern from one angle has a Sky Sports banner and "Food served..." on the blackboard outside, but from the round about "9th Ale festival", then off the roundabout onto Buchanan Gardens, its "Sky SPorts and ESPN" again

Yes, they're indisputably from different dates and different times, everything you've mentioned has already been pointed out o.o
