26. Same Birthday, Not Twins

Two baby boys are delivered in the same hospital on the same Tuesday. They share the same mother, the same father, and even the same birthday and year. Yet the boys are not twins. How is this possible?

Added 20 January 2011

Hint:

How many babies can be born in one pregnancy?

Solution:

The boys are part of a set of triplets (or a larger multiple birth). Because there are at least three babies, any two of them are not considered twins even though they share the same parents and birthday.
