My first problem is the question is too broad and I chose Yes without thinking about it as there is almost always several ways to do the same thing. The second problem is that the solution given is locale specific as has been pointed out in other questions.
I don't mind this type of question if it truly shakes me up like Paul said but I think it needs to lead me into thinking about a particular way to solve it that I might not normally consider.

... I think these ones about working out pointless conditions to satisfy one off special cases that nobody will EVER use, are more about your ability (and level of interest) in working out what's different about those months than the others. As such, they have almost nothing to to with T-SQL (which was the 'Question Type') other than that they chose to write the solution in it. I imagine many people will simply guess yes (there's usually a way to do anything that starts with 'is there a way...') without really knowing why. ...

Kevin all solutions may not be the best but sometimes these type of solutions/questions shake our brains. We sometimes do monotonous work, so this solutions help us to break the shackle. We learnt something differently is also interesting. 😎
