Rewind #16 · Monday, November 9, 2026

Fur hats in the snow, rickshaws and neon motel signs

The Monday, November 9, 2026 puzzle: five photos from history. Guess the year each was taken, on a timeline from 1900 to 2026.

  1. Men in fur hats and long dark coats walk past two vendor carts with umbrellas on a snowy city street.
  2. A bunch of foil character balloons hangs beside a pole with crossing lights, with a vendor and children below in a shopping street.
  3. Traffic fills a street lined with towering motel signs and neon, with a tall tower and hills in the haze beyond.
  4. Rickshaws carrying tourists in hats and fur-collared coats along a paved road, with a cyclist riding beside them
  5. Shoppers and shopkeepers in a vaulted covered market lane lined with shop windows full of ceramics and souvenirs.
