    July 16

    18 & 19 are unique days so it can't be in May or June.

    It can't be the 14th because then Bernard wouldn't know.

    Albert finally knows so it has to be July 16 because August still has 2 possibilities.

    Here's an old one. I took my grandson fishing and he caught his first Striper. He was so proud that after taking his picture he wanted to weigh it. Being the joker that I am, and wanting to help him with his algebra, I gave him a trick scale. He weighed the fish and the scale said it weighed 5 pounds plus half its weight. How much did the fish weigh?

    A sundial is a way to measure time that has the fewest number of moving parts. What device used for measuring time has the most moving parts?

    If one takes the word NON-PERCEPTION and rearranges its 13 letters, name 3 things that are on the same category. It's actually pretty elemental.

    Getting warm, very warm. Letters in 3 things must come from NON-PERCEPTION; A, B, K, L not part of 13 letters in "Non-Perception". Close though.
