Puzzle overview for Professor Layton and the Curious Village: Puzzle 066 - Birthday Girl

When asked about her birthday, a young woman gives the following information:

“The day after tomorrow, I turn 22, but I was still 19 on New Year’s Day last year.”

When is her birthday?

Hint 2

The woman will turn 22 in two days, and her birthday, like all birthdays, lasts but one day.

She also mentions her age last year. A year, on the other hand, is a much larger period of time to deal with.

In order for her statement to be true, her birthday needs to fall on a particular day. Think about how the above two facts help to narrow the possibilities.

Hint 3

At first, it may have seemed impossible for some to span four different ages the just over a year’s time. That’s because it wasn’t a single year she was speaking about.

If you assumed her birthday is around the New Year period, then you should start to realize you could be more malleable with the time frame.
