    Twins do not take birth at the same time, so I understand, but one after the other,within a reasonable interval of time. If there is any limit to that interval, in that case, the averment can be understood.

    made $300 ($400-$100) BTW who would buy a used phone for $1000

    we multiply eq. 1 & 2, we get 24

    they aren’t born in the same year but on the same day and month in two different years (like me and my younger brother, both born 15/4 but I was in 1995, he was in 2008)

  40. Mubarek.alamin November 27, 2012 at 3:40 AM #

    รธ He earned:-(600+800)-(900+1000)
    -1(600+800) – 900+1000
    -600+800 = -900+1000
    200+100
    $300.00.
    รธ A*B*C*D=24 \ if A=2, B=1, C=4, D=3
    รธ The twins aren’t so much of A total twin in a skin colors.
    I guess!
