If a mother is giving birth to twins on day light savings in the fall, and the first twin is born at 1:58 A.M., and the second twin is born 3 minutes later, at 1:01 A.M., due to the time change, who is older? This is not a riddle, just wanted to know people's opinions on it, kind of boggles my mind a little, haha.

Einstein said time is relative, but it's obvious that the twin born at 1:58 daylight time is older than that born at 1:01 standard time. You can write a letter to your state's Bureau of Vital Statistics requesting that both infant's birth certificates are recorded in standard time. Explain your reason clearly in the letter.

That's a good question... I mean obviously the one that is born first is older, but technically their time of birth would place the younger one being born first. So legally, the younger one would be older, but realistically everyone would know that he/she was actually the younger one.

The first child to leave the birth canal is older. Time progresses and moves forward, no matter what man tells it. :o)

Ya, it's a funny question, but I say that clearly the kid who comes out first is older

the first one born is the oldest. i mean he was the first one to come into the world right? regardless of what time it is.
