19th occur only once, so if cheryl had revealed that date to bernard he would have known the answer. remember the first statement albert is certain that bernard does not know so if albert has been told it was may or june he could not be sure it didn't fall on may 19th or june 18th which means the birth month must be in july or august. so let's get rid of the top 5. and since bernard already knows the answer, after albert speaks it has to be a unique date. so we eliminate those two after bernard speaks albert knows the answer. so this has to be a unique month, there are two dates in august, we safely eliminate those, and the loft with just july 16th. clear as mud now imagine a 14 or 15-year-old trying to solve this in minutes.
