One has to admire Steve's tenacity at getting questions slightly bent.:hehe:

Just because you're right doesn't mean everybody else is wrong.

Need to change date in query to 2018 to get what you required! But good question, thanks Steve.

The 2nd and 3rd answer are equal.
I'm curious to know why someone chooses the second answer instead of the third or vice versa.

Right. So I figured neither of them were right, and now my choices were 2. I got it wrong anyway. I hate date arithmetic. :angry:

Except as noted above, the "right" answer gets the wrong date.

2nd and 3rd options are same and 4th option returns 2016. None of the above should be an option....
