Each of the following events happened on July 23. Your challenge is to put them in the order in which they occurred by year, earliest to latest. Answers at the bottom!

• A) Soon-to-be notorious bank robber John Dillinger joins the Navy in order to avoid charges of auto theft in Indiana. Dillinger’s reputation is later forged in a single 14-month period where he becomes America’s most wanted fugitive after robbing 24 banks.
• B) NASA announces the discovery of Earth’s “bigger, older cousin,” an exoplanet named Kepler-452b located ~1,800 light-years away. Scientists are excited because it shares similarities with Earth, raising the possibility that it could potentially sustain life.
• C) The music festival Woodstock ‘99 kicks off in upstate New York, timed to the 30th anniversary of the original Woodstock. While the event attempts to emulate the original’s spirit of peace, music, and love, it instead devolves into what the SF Chronicle calls “one of the biggest debacles in concert history,” with three days of riots, fires, and looting.
• D) The US women’s gymnastics team wins its first-ever team gold medal at the Summer Olympics in Atlanta. The team earns the nickname “Magnificent 7,” after the squad’s seven immensely talented teenaged girls.

Hint: Woodstock ‘99 was a 3-day festival
