The date 4/5/2010 is given. The arrow pointing to it says that the United States uses the date-month-year format, but we use the month-date-year format. The rest of the world uses date-month-year. The question is asked if the date reads May 5th, 2010 or April 4th, 2010. The question should be is it May 4th 2010, or April 5th 2010, as there's no possible way to get 5/5/2010 or 4/4/2010 out of 4/5/2010. |
