There seems to be a video missing with the Wikipedia datetime instructions? It jumps to the solution to the problem.

I'm watching this video in 2022 and I understand it was created in 2015, but am I missing something here? There isn't currently a video with the instructions to the Wikipedia problem only the solution.

At about 7:08 in the previous video, Dating Methods, Kenneth says: "Actually, I have a challenge for you now. Using the Python docs, and strftime and strptime, make a script that accepts a month and day date in whatever format you want that returns a link to Wikipedia for that date. Be sure you tell the user how to format their data for you. Come back in the next video and we'll build it together."

In between the two videos, there's a quick online challenge to reinforce strftime and strptime, which may have been enough of a distraction that you forgot.   :see_no_evil:

If you still feel the course ordering is an issue, you can always make a suggestion directly to the staff using the instructions on the Support page.
