Question of the day: how can one twin, born nearly 30 minutes after his brother, actually be older?
It's an interesting puzzle, but one that can be solved thanks to Daylight Saving Time.
The first of Emily and Seth Peterson's twins, Samuel, was born at Cape Cod Hospital at 1:39 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 6. His brother Ronan was born 31 minutes later, but Daylight Saving Time had ended. The clocks were turned back, so Ronan was technically born at 1:10 a.m.
"I said earlier that night that they were either going to be born on two different days or the time change was going to come into play," Seth Peterson told United Press International.
It certainly did.
