Binary-search the month of Feb to find the day when it goes out of
balance and then look for transactions on that day (+/- 1 day).  most
likely it's a change-of-commodity (e.g. a sale of stock) without the
corresponding gain/loss.

How do I perform a binary search?

I think he just means to hit the middle of the date range where the suspect transaction may lie for each search.
