This Twin Was Born First But His Brother Is Older, How The F*ck Does That Work?

This Twin Was Born First But His Brother Is Older, How The F*ck Does That Work?

Massive brainteaser.

Twins are confusing, aren't they? Have you ever spoken to one while pissed, and then a few minutes later bumped into their sibling? A right brainteaser that one.

Samuel and Ronan Peterson are even more of a headshrinker, as despite Samuel coming out of the womb first, Ronan is the older twin.

How on earth does that work? I hear you ask. Has their mother's vagina been tinkered with by Doc Brown so that when kids shoot out at a certain speed they travel through time?

Not quite.

Emily Peterson gave birth to Samuel on Sunday, November 6 of last year at 1.39am. The second of the two twins, Ronan, followed 31 minutes later.

This meant that he would have been born at 2.10am... Had the clocks not gone back an hour at 2am in the US.

Because of this, on paper, Ronan's time of birth is 1.10am, technically making him 29 minutes older than Samuel.

"I said, they're either going to be born on two different days, or the time change may come into play," their dad, Seth, told One Cape Health News.

The two twins and their brainteaser have gone viral since their birth back in November. And in even better news, it now means that they have a spectacular story to tell at a house party when they're older.
