Mystery of the babies (Posted on 2002-11-27)

I was at the hospital waiting for my little cousin to be born. I began talking to another couple. The husband said " My wife just gave birth to 2 babies. They are not twins."

Confused, I said "Huh?".

"Yes" he said, "They were both born today within minutes of each other."

I assumed that they must have been born in different years but he assured me that this was not so. I figured out what the deal is with these babies. Can you?

Solution: (Hide)

The babies are not twins. They have another sister (or brother), they are triplets (or quadruplets, etc.) ...
