    Your riddle intrigued me to register a forum account and have a go.. :)

    I have a strong feeling it's;
    March 14, 2003. It's a tricky one to explain.. but I'm interpretting the dialogue that way.

    I only found MapleRoyals 2 days ago, so I'm a newb to the server! Having got tired of the retail version, playing here is a breath of fresh air. I'm training up a dexless sin. something I always wished I'd done back in 2008!

    I'm still learning the ropes around here.. or you could say relearning. If you by chance had any overall luk scrolls, thats likely the only item that's going to improve my performance drastically.

    I realise these are scarce, and I would love to hear more of the theory behind your riddle regardless!

    Greetings, Optic

    Please show the full step process on how you find the answer haha, this is just incase you saw the answer form the internet :) (Even though the internet has full step answer too, that's why use yours!)

    I'm afraid I don't think I know the exact solution, I'm guessing by your response I got it right xD

    Hmm I can only work backwards as I replied to this at 5am this morning.

    I had the idea that two of them had been told the same information. Looking through the dates, March 2003 is the only one which holds true to this.

    Meaning both a and c were told '03' and the '14' being irrelevant.
    Or not completely.. 14 can't be the month nor the year logically under the circumstances. Well, it would mean an 11 year difference and one would like to think that much could be assumed lol!

    Could you post the answer if I'm right? It's probably very clever and different to what I found.. I've never done a riddle in my life!

    I got an answer, but I have to say that I watched a video on Numberphile (great math channel on YouTube) few months ago that used a more simple version of this puzzle. Otherwise the same exact thing, but no years involved. So basically it's a matter of elimination and writing the puzzle down on a grid. I have an excel file showing my steps and answer, so should I PM it to you or post here as attachment?

    Albert says he doesn't know Denise's birthday, but knows that Bernard doesn't know her birthday either, so this leads to the elimination of April and June because if the birthday is in the month of April and July, then Albert would know the answer since those have unique days and Bernard would also know the answer if it's those unique days, yet they both don't know.
    Then Bernard says he still doesn't know the birthday, so this leads to eliminating the newly-made unique days, such as May 15, 2001 and Feb 17, 2001. And since Cheryl still doesn't know the answer, it's not the remaining day of 2001, so Mar 13, 2001 is also gone. Then, Jan 13, 2003 would be a unique day, which would be crossed out, else Bernard would know.
    Cheryl saying she doesn't know, but also saying that Albert doesn't know leads to the elmination of 2004. If it was 2004, then Albert would know the answer because only January has a single day left. Again, 2004 is out.
    Albert saying he knows means it is not March because March still has two choices.
    Bernard knows the answer, so it has to be 14 because that's the only unique day left.
    Cheryl knows the answer because there's only May 14, 2002 left.

    I stopped playing Maplestory because everything became so expensive when they implemented pay2win, and I switched to using Mac. Then I accidentally saw that my friend was playing Maple on her Mac and I was like you have Maple on Mac?? She gave me the link, so I thought of giving it a go again. No regrets =D

    Can I have the shoes speed scrolls and two handed sword Acc 70% please??

    I joined mapleroyals because 4x exp is the perfect exp rate, not too quick that you dont feel satisfaction, and not too slow that it feels too grindy.
    I would like the knuckle 60% att scroll(s) please.
