Why do I have to define timestamp here? That's what missing apparently
# If you need help, look up datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp()
# Also, remember that you *will not* know how many timestamps

import datetime
def timestamp_oldest(*args):
args_list = list(args)
args_list.sort()
return datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(args_list[0])
