It says "THE ORIGINAL MYSTERY TWINS".

That was going to me my point xD.

But yeah, the cryptogram says they are twins. I know I'm late to the party, but twins just means siblings sharing the womb. Identical twins are clones - the same DNA split into two. Regular twins, like the Pines, are just siblings born at the same time, so they look related but not identical Identical twins are reuglar twins. So are the other kind. They're both regular twins.

And both pines are sets of identical twins.The DNA splits or whatever, but there are a few differences in the DNA, so they look really similar. The other kind (the name which begins with a F but I forgot what they're called) Don't usually look that much identical. I know I'm going way too into this, but you're wrong. Busting out the science book here. How identical twins are formed: egg is fertilised (now known as a zygote), zygote cell divides via process known as mitosis, cell membrane reforms, two identical eggs. Although it is true that the length of time before the cell splits determines how similar the offspring are (a cell splitting when it is more mature makes them more similar), it is impossible for traits such as gender or extra fingers to be a factor in this. Identical twins are CLONES. A boy and a girl cannot be clones, nor can two boys as different characteristically as the Stans. Seriously though; you can't be like "I'm a girl and this boy is my CLONE!" There are no differences in the DNA of identical twins - the reasons for identical twins looking or acting differently is a matter of external factors such as diet and experiences. A lot of the time, identical twins have incredibly similar personalities and can even speak and move in sync, unlike the obvious differences between the Stans.

Non-identical twins are created by there being two eggs instead of one (it just happens sometimes), which are then fertilised with two different gametes. As a result, they carry two different combinations of genes from the same parents and so are like siblings, just two-for-one.

TL;DR: Identical twins are clones, none of the Pines Twins are identical

YOUR ASS JUST GOT SCIENCED
