As for Abdallah's birthday, it can be infered only from the chronology of the 1st colour 'Palestine' version: 8th of August (p.6-A2), then 'quinze jours' -fortnight- (p.14-B2) and other time data lead to the 5th or 6th of September.

Moderator Note: Please do not link to sites which reproduce works in their entirity; whilst the use of a frame or two to illustrate a point might be regarded as fair use, linking to sites which reproduce whole pages of books will be seen as promoting piracy, and cannot be entertained here.
Please also remember that the quiz rules require that the answers be based on the English albums (where, for example, the birthday was last week, not three days ago, and the Palestine version was never used).
