Twins (Posted on 2002-05-29) Difficulty: 3 of 5
One day Kerry celebrated her birthday.

Two days later her older twin brother, Terry, celebrated his birthday.

How can this be, assuming that the difference in twins' ages can be a few minutes, but not over an hour?

It says Terry, who celebrated his birthday two days later, is OLDER than Kerry.

My guess is that Terry was born on an east-bound ship on March 1st. Then the ship crossed the International Date Line making it one day earlier. Then Kerry was born (on February 28th).

Then the leap year would add an extra day between their birthdays.
