NOT twins - Page 2

So which violates the criterion the most:
* genetic twins born to different birth mothers.
* genetically different babies born to the same birth mother.
;)
Actually, there have been cases (usually involving fertility drugs) where one or more of the eggs splits into twins. This produces a multiple birth of mixed maternal twins and fraternal tuplets. I think many of the sixes and sevens involve at least one set of identical twins.

{ :) :) }

A B { C D } E
While you could say that D & E aren't "twins", this scenario isn't really separate from 'triplets", just the added wrinkle that C & D are twins.
