I chose the 3rd.
One, TFoR explained that the Covenant found Reach after a tracking device attached itself to the UNSC Iroquois after the battle of Sigma Octanus IV.
In Halo: Reach, the Winter Contingency mission takes place before the battle of Sigma Octanus IV.
Two, In TFoR, the PoA jupped in to slipspace just after 06:47 August 30th 2552.
The Pillar of Autumn mission takes place at 16:52, ten hours after the PoA left the system.
Three, Bungie's Personnel section for Reach, states the spartans of Noble team's ages. In Ghosts of Onyx, it states that children where taken at the ages of 4 to 6.
Cat and Jun would have been 7, Emile would have been 8 and Carter would have been 11
Personaly, im a more disapointed by Bungie's complete disregard for the canon that has been establishing itself for nearly 10 years.
It seems to me, that Bungie got bored of Halo, decided to make a game that punched the canon in the face, and then did a runner, leaving 343I and the rest of the Halo comunity to pick up the pieces.
I can easily counter all three of your points.
1. No it doesn't, the Battle of Sigma Octanus takes place between July 18-19th, and then the mission Winter Contingency in Reach takes place on July 24th, your point is moot.
2. Minor retcon on the timing, much the same as retconning when the Elites, Brutes, and Hunters were first encountered during the war.
3. IIRC, it said around the ages of 4-6, seven is only one number higher than six and still fits the parameter. And you're not factoring in cryo-sleep, these kids would have been shunted around from planet to planet probably, so their chronological ages and their biological ages would not match up. Like for instance Master Chief is about 40 years old chronologically, but biologically he's somewhere close to his early 30s. or take Sgt. Johnson, he's something 80 years old chronologically, and yet physically he's only somewhere between his 40s and 60s.
If you think that you obviously know nothing of how Bungie treats its projects and its community, what you described is something completely and totally out of character for them.
Some nice logical solutions.... god job chap
Why thank you my good sir or madame. While there are some inconsistencies, none of them are anything the fans can't figure out for themselves.
