Sorry I couldn't find the thread I was on the other day where we discussed giving, for example, 1975, 1976, 1977, and 1978 as choices isn't preferred. (Or, May 5, May 6, May 7, May 8 for another example, or even 1760, 1770, 1780, 1790 in many cases)

Anyway, today I came across an quiz I heartily recommend both as fun to play and as an excellent example of how to give choices of dates. It makes the dates meaningful.

YES! There is a range of dates, each with information to make that a meaningful year if you have some knowledge, and the extra information is truly informative.

This issue has recently been discussed in several places, including the Bus Ride chat board.
