This actually happened a couple of nights ago in Lima, Ohio. Both were bowling in league competition and both were bowling as substitutes as opposed to being regular members of their respective teams. Amazing!

I would not discount that feat nowadays. Back then, when honor scores were "earned" without advantages of such high tech equipment, it was unheard of. Now, with all the bowling balls that hook so much and lane conditions that match, it is not difficult to shoot high scores anymore. Congratulations to them!

The question is unanswerable. We would have to know how many brother and sister teams bowl in their house at the same time, and how often each of those two bowls a 300, and how many games they bowl together.

According to the following site, the probability of bowling a perfect game is less than .05. For two people to bowl games in a row, the probabilities are multiplied together. If .05 is realistic, and I think it is overly optomistic, then the probability of two in a row would be .0025.
