Except you can't. Trying to win the bet that way is cheating. Really.

He *was* born on Feb 22 *gregorian*. And since the Gregorian calendar hafd been in effect in *other* parts of the world for well over 100 years at the time...

The Feb 11 was the date in the Old Style calendar (still used by some Orthodox churches). Of course, the slippage is now up to 13 days...

Feb 11 (Old Style) and Feb 22 Gregorian were the same day that year.
