Explanation:
- There are six persons: P, Q, R, S, T, and U.
- They were born in May, September, and November, on the dates 9 and 16.
- P was born after R, but not on the same date.
- S has an equal number of people born before and after him, implying S is in the middle.
- Q and U were born in the same month.
- T was born in a month with 30 days, so T was born in September.

3. P is born on November 9.
4. S is born on September 16.
5. Q and U are both born in November on 16.
