Which birthday was Pharoh celebrating?

If I told you outright what birthday Pharoh was celebrating whan he reinstated his wine butler to his old job, while he had his chief baker hung, you wouldn't enjoy the thrill of finding the answer by yoursef.
However I can give you a hint. By paying particular attention to a discussion two of our sages had, as outlined in the first side of the 152nd folio of the Tractate "Shabbat" in the Bavli Talmud, you should be able to figure it out.

Maybe one of you can contribute the same kind of question - something to sharpen the mind.
