but I'll go with the earlier one:
1771-01-18.

I have the feeling that it's either about 1770 or about 1845.

This is not the same date as the official holiday in Australia, Australia Day,
but it didn't matter in the end as sever entrants were off by such a large
margin.
Marc Dashevsky is eliminated, after severely testing my date calculator.
The next round will be posted shortly. It is now open to Peter Smyth, Rob
Parker, Dan Blum, John Adams, Calvin, Russ, Pete, Dan Tilque, Erland
Sommarskog, Mark Brader, and Joshua Kreitzer.
