may 19

she tells albert the month and benard the day.

the only day represented only once is the 19th.

since Benard now knows then albert also knows.


The use of the word respectively is key so it is more of a grammar test than a math test.

However, the use of the word "too" should have been "either" grammatically.

Bernard would have known right away if the date was the 19th because there would only be one choice.

This is why it can't be the 19th. At first neither of them know, they just know that the other doesn't know. So the information that she gives both of them has to allow for at least tow different answers.
