So true Subhomoy BHAIYA!
By the way, the concept of hiding is very strange.. Because it is very much visible.. If you know, what I'm saying!

i have already seen this problem somewhere....

they were born while their mother was travelling in a plane
Amy was born in 28 Feb, say in america
her mother crossed the GMT
after that Mathew was born when his mom was in india where it is 1 march.
On a leap yr they have 1 day between their respective b'days

Thats it !!!
