I got 90 but if it hadn't been multiple choice I'd have gotten about 20%.  I got the one with the tall tower wrong.  I guessed Toronto, where I live, because I thought I recognized the parking lot...haha.  On second glance it looks more like a small fairground or something.  Oh well, you know what they say....beauty fades but dumb is forever.
