BPKANERVA Jul 13, 2006	I thought that mabey the second Harry and frank weren't the same Harry and Frank as the twin brothers harry and frank

junebug22 Jul 22, 2006	Pretty easy but it was fun! Thanks!
(user deleted) Jul 27, 2006	2000 and 2001 are both in the 21st century. It would work if you used 1999 and 2000 though.
hellogoodbyee Aug 01, 2006	actually, 2000 is still in the 20th century and 2001 is in the 21st century. (centuries start with XXX1, because the 1st century started with 1 A.D, not 0 A.D.) in regards to the trick, i thought it was a classic! nicee. =]

Jimbo Oct 29, 2006	Maybe Harry was the twin brother of Suzy and Frank was the twin brother of Mary. They are both twin brothers but not of each other.
