Thats why I said it wasn't a very thought out question. I should have put a contour interval and then it would be the most accurate as you said. :)
Contour interval wouldn't matter that much, but the slope of the mountains would. I got the same answer as Anomaly just by using the scale and measured distance. ((17 x 125000)/(5280 x 12) = around 33.5385101)

Whose turn is it to post a question? Anomaly?

Given that this image is positioned so that West is left and East is right, at what time of day was this image most likely taken?

I would say sometime around 10:00.
"Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:11-12

I have no regrets.

Davie goes to Holy Trinity School in Sector 8. Huey goes to Holy Family School in Sector 9. If traveling on 5th Street, approximately how many meters apart are they when both at school?

Post a different question. Not only is it hard to find these places, it is hard to use a scale on a map like this.

Yeah, I was hoping you'd zoom in...
Using the same map: Which 7.5 minute quadrangle lies directly southwest of this quadrangle?

Miamisburg Even zooming in, I couldn't find it because you can't pan...
