I have a question - why are 1924 and 1925 not on the lists? I've got a book published in 1925 that I'll be reading shortly, and only just realized that while 1923 and 1926 are present, 1924 and 1925 are not.

Thanks!

ETA: 2009 & 2006 are listed twice. Sorry if this has already been discussed and I just missed it.

I took the 100 years and split them up between the four challenges. But there were some years (especially early on) where nothing of note happened, so I had to double up on a couple years! Sorry to throw you off!
