( . 2 ) years = . 2 × 3 6 5 = 7 3 days = 1 3 a p r + 3 1 m a r + 2 8 f e b + 1 j a n
Since we are going backwards, 1 day of January means he was born on 3 1 s t J a n u a r y .
Since he is 1 8 years old, he was born in 2 0 1 7 − 1 8 = 1 9 9 9 .
Hence he was born on the day - 3 1 s t J a n u a r y 1 9 9 9 .

If you use a calculator, then we can find the day he was born on, at precisely 12:00 AM.
To find the total number of days elapsed, we take 31 + 28 + 31 + 13 and we subtract .2(365) which results in 30. This is the amount of days since January 1st, so that makes it the 31st.
To find the year we look at a relation: he is 18 in 2017, 17 in 2016, and so forth. We can modify this equation to y = x - 1, with no regard to the first 2 digits. If we input 0, then we get -1. However, this function is in relation to the year 2000, so 2000 - 1 = 1999. The birthday is January 31st, 1999.
