A woman is in labour and she is expecting a set of twins . let's say today is 31st of December ,she gave birth to Taye (the first twin) at 11:59pm that same day and gave birth to Kehinde at 12:05am on 1st of January .

so am wondering ..
*are they still twins?

the time interval between the birthday should be observed.

Unique twins Na. they would round it off to 1st Jan. As in, they should delay cutting the cord till 12:00 am

na soo

let's wait for others to comment . they are some Einsteins here that will still say something

Of course they are twins.
The time interval is just 6minutes.
I'm sure you're considering the fact that they were born on two different days but that is actually irrelevant...In this case.

He is talking two diff years here. One in 2016 the other in 2017. A few minutes could change it Na. If one was born at 11:50 pm dec 31st 2016 and the other due to some small complication gets born say 15 mins ater at 12:05 or 12:10 am 2017.

not only different days .. but also different years. That obviously is also irrelevant as it just 6 minutes difference abi?

I thought the term being a twin kinda meant like being conceived together
You know two babies in the womb kind of stuff
So I'm saying the time of birth shouldn't be relevant

I think not...
