Mad Ade's Digital Watch
Mad Ade is once more perched outside the "Sweaty Chef Kebab Shop" waiting for it to open. He glances at his new digital watch and notices that the time and date display used 10 digits in its HH:MM:SS Month/Day format.
It was 17:59:56 09/03.
Mad Ade wondered to himself, if all ten digits 0-9 appear on the display, what is (a) the earliest, and (b) the latest date and time in the year this could happen?
Obviously he didn't work out the answer as the doors opened and his mind turned to more important things.
What would the answer be?
It was 17:59:56 09/03.

The answers do not correspond to the questions. For example, question (a) is:
What is the earliest DATE and time in the year?
But the answer is:
The earliest time of the year is 17:48:59 03/26.
Howevr an earlier DATE and time is 23:48:59 07/16.
If the question means something different from what it appears to say, it is poorly and confusingly worded.

I think you're confused, canu. July 16 is not an earlier date than March 26.
Nice puzzle. Answers seem OK to me!
Fun teaser! Maybe I need to eat some kebabs to get out of my slump...
