In 03-dates-as-data, one of the Exercises says "What will happen if you save our data file in Excel (in csv format) and then open the file using a plain text editor?"
I'm really not sure what answer is being targeted here. Two separate problems:
1) The learner is going to be prompted to save only the active sheet when saving from Excel to csv, but it's not clear which of the three sheets should be saved to answer this exercise.
2) The question is pretty vague. Is the problem that is being targeted the fact that when the "dates" tab is saved as csv and opened in a plain text editor, there is no year associated with the "date collected"? Or is there something else being targeted here?
This exercise should also end with {: .challenge} rather than {: .callout}. I think this affects the coloring on the template.
