Two girls have the same parents and were born at the same hour of the same day of the same month, but they are not twins. How can this be possible?

They were not born in the same year.

Why this works

This riddle plays with the common assumption that siblings born at the same time must be twins. However, the key lies in the phrase "not twins," which opens the door to other possibilities. If the two girls were born at the same hour on the same day and month, but in different years, they can still share the same parents and timing without being twins. This clever twist invites us to rethink our definitions and assumptions about familial relationships!

Common Wrong Answers

“They are adopted sisters.”

While they could be adopted, the riddle specifically mentions that they have the same parents, which implies they are biological siblings.

“They are triplets with another sibling.”

Triplets would still be considered multiples born at the same time, so this does not explain why they are not twins.

“They were born in different countries.”

Being born in different countries does not affect the fact that they can have the same parents and be born at the same time; it doesn't address the riddle's conditions.
