That would make Tom the younger brother.

Hmm...they live on opposite sides of the International Date Line?

That would make Tom the younger brother.

It would. Tom IS the OLDER brother, as you surmised.

That would make Tom the younger brother.

True, is there another solution ?

 

[The Sigil]

Yes. And no.

I'm sure someone will have the solution shortly.

Tom was away on a business trip and returned home two days after his birthday so his family held another celebration for him.

Tom was away on a business trip and returned home two days after his birthday so his family held another celebration for him.

Tom and Bob both celebrated their birthdays on their actual birthdays. I should have phrased it better.

Further, we can assume for sake of argument, that they celebrated their birthdays together (i.e., they are both in the same location).

There were complications during birth, and Tom was in there a little longer?

Their mom made the doctor's put Tom back in for two days cause he didn't look like he was finished cooking yet.

Actually, they were born on either side of the leap year day. Tom was born first, on March 1st. Then, by some conveyance or method, they crossed the international date line during the birthing, and Bob was born on February 28th.

On leap years, their "birthdays" are separated by a full day, in the opposite direction of their actual ages.
