Difference in the raw count of records between my solution and the one provided I believe is because of the ambiguity around the phrase "since June 2013." I took that to mean the start of June.

Either way, thanks for the exercise.

Why is solution's filter after 2013/7? Even assignment says that "since June 2013".
