For the New Year's Eve task the number examples don't seem to fit the 2018 numbers we are supposed to use. Can you clarify?

[Linda C]

Ah. I see you did make a change from the original task list. I copied the list to my computer before it was complete and this task originally said 3 of the 4 which didn't seem to work, Got the correct version now.
