Wait, so in the challenge, you don't get to know what date it is? It's an odd challenge as I'm playing it right now and I don't know the zeitgeist of the time.

I'm currently looking at a front page and am just wondering: is it 2008?

Purely having knowledge from a day in advance without any other context, yea that's hard. IRL, we also have context.




If you knew the exact date, it would make it too easy to remember some big stock drop that happened on a specific date. Although there were enough clues in many of them to narrow it down to a week or two.
