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

LOL

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

That would still make Tom younger, to be the older one he has to come out first.

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.

Bingo. We have a winner.

We had "on either side of date line"

We had "on Feb 28/Mar 1"

We had "leap year"

It was just a matter of fitting all of them together correctly.

Then there is now way of telling when two eggs are encaminated and no difference when one egg splits (identical). It is measured from birth.

Ugh. That was an awkward answer - I was hoping I was wrong .

I'm still stumped on the "thrice never" riddle. All I can think of are dance steps!

When is 2 + 2 != 4?

What if it was artificial conception?
But we got the answer in the end anyway, so...


When you're bad at math.

If three people call defeat on this riddle I'll give the answer:

Once a turn always,
twice a turn rarely,
thrice a turn never.
