Let me guess: answer is July 14.
It's not may or June because there is possibility birthday can be may 19 or June 18, in this case Bernard would know the answer but he doesn't.
Now we have July or August, so we need similar numbers in this couple (Bernard has to choose between two months), and it's 14. Now when Bernard got information that Alberts doesn't know either it's 14 or 16 we came to the answer. It's July 14
I'm still missing something, because it seems like Bernard would know the date for the 15th, 16th, or 17th, but him knowing wouldn't help Albert.
And, it seems like he doesn't have enough information to know the month if it's a 14th.

Yes now with help I found flaw in my calculations. The answer is Jule 16.
Bernard has to pairs on months with similar numbers:
- May July
- July August
When Bernard got information from Albert that he 100% should know the answer we take pair with unique number (May July), and it can't be May. So the answer is July 16

That's what I was leaning towards, but I still don't totally see it. More coffee.

At some point there's an option with 15 may or 15 august, but as Bernard final statement "I didn't know but now know", he shoude choose from month with to numbers this month is July.
