Is it not 78 ?

Turn your phone/screen upside down and look.
Yeah I already got that,so my original question remains ?

If you can explain the logic that you used to get to 78 and why it should be that then maybe someone can agree with you that it should be 78. At the moment I am happy that the answer is 87.

Albert and Bernard just become friends with Cheryl, and they want to know when her birthday is.

Cheryl gives them a list of possible dates.

May 15 May 16 May 19

June 17 June 18

July 14 July 16

August 14 August 15 August 17

Cheryl then tells Albert and Bernard separately the month and the day of her birthday respectively.

Albert: I don't know when Cheryl's birthday is, but I know that Bernard does not know too.

Bernard: At first I don't know when Cheryl's birthday is, but I know now.

Albert: Then I also know when Cheryl's birthday is.

So when is Cheryl's birthday?

July 16th?

please tell me how

Because if you put 87 in there upside down from right to left it will read 86,78,88,89,90,91.
I think

Rather than upside down.. it is a mirror view. Slightly different.

Apparently Singaporean not Japanese but here is the solution which is given:

From the first statement, we know that Albert is sure that Bernard doesn't know the birthday, so May and June should be ruled out (the day 19 only appears in May and the day 18 only appears in June). In other words, if Albert had May or June, then he cannot be sure that Bernard doesn't know, since Bernard could have had 18 or 19.

Following that statement, Bernard knows that May and June are ruled out.

Then, Bernard is able to know which month it is. So it must be either July 16, August 15 and August 17 (not 14th as then he can't know).

Since Albert subsequently can also be sure of the date, he must know it's July. If it's August, he can't be sure as there is August 15 and 17.

So the answer is July 16.
