You will be presented with 5 sports headlines from the same New York Times print newspaper. Your job is to guess the exact print date in as few guesses as possible.
Example
Patriots Mount a Comeback for the Ages to Win a Fifth Super Bowl
HOUSTON - The chants rang out loud and long at NRG Stadium in South Texas, not from bars or living rooms across New England, until a wall of sound enveloped a team and a quarterback on a mission. “Brady, Brady,” the fans screamed, and it is in moments like this - the first overtime in Super Bowl history - that Tom Brady appears most comfortable, as if lounging on his sofa in his beloved Uggs.
Each time you make a guess, the next headline and its lede will open automatically.
With each new headline comes an additional guess for up to 5 guesses.
The month, day, and year turn green when they are exact. They turn yellow when they are 1 unit away on either side, and gray otherwise.
Each part of the date gets its own hint. Earlier means the correct component of the date is earlier. Later means the correct component of the date is later.
For example, if the correct print date was July 7th 1986, and you guessed May 8th 1985 it would look like this:
