There are many ways to do this math problem. Ms. Hoffman chose to do it this way.
She knew that the year has 365 days. She knows that Nov 19 is close to the end of the year, so she decided to go backwards. First she figured out how many days Dec has (31). She did 365 - 31 = 334. Then she figured out how many days November has (30). She subtracted 30 - 19 = 11 to see how many more days she needed to go backwards. Finally she subtracted 334 - 11 = 323.
365 (days in the year) - 31 (days of Dec) - 11 (days of Nov after her birthday) = 323 (the day of the year Ms. Hoffman was born)
On the Olomouc astrological clock that is St. Alžběta day.
