(if Bernard would get 18 or 19, he would know exact day without having to know month, as they're unique) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TakenItSeriously Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) A third person can deduce it must be July 16 using all three clues. Edited March 30, 2018 by TakenItSeriously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
