A woman had triplets in July and twins in August – in the same year. How could that be possible?
ANSWER
She had quintuplets (5), three were born before midnight on July 31 and two were born after midnight on August 1st.
Alternatives:
The woman may have given birth to three children in July, one needing to go into intensive care for neonatal care after birth defects, dying in August, leaving the mother with twins. Graphic I know, but happens frequently
