If you have triplets and one dies, are they twins?

Discuss.

Philosophical, scientific, moral, idiotic and funny ideas welcome.

I'm sticking with my "moon math"

TRIPLETS shall now be represented by T
TWINS shall now be represented by t
DEAD TRIPLET shall now be represented by D
SIBLINGS shall now be represented by S

T - D = S
T - D != t

What's the singular form of triplet?

triplet is singular

triplets is the plural form

therefore, you would have two triplets remaining

triplets or twins?

If it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck then it must be a duck.


So with that logic if you only see two of the triplets... they are twins since they look like twins.

So if twins aren't in the same physical place they're not twins?

What if two of them were Siamese and the other was a singlet. Triplets or twins or i like cats.

What if 2 were born conjoined and the other wasn't? Is that twins + another child?

That's what Siamese means. Don't sound the Polo alarm.

Just because you can't comprehend having 3 children, don't take it out on me.
