Cute!
It could also be Dec. 31st, and they were BOTH born on Jan 1st. Willy will celebrate his fifth birthday tomorrow (Jan 1). Wally will have to wait until next year to turn five (the next day - Jan 1 - is ALSO the next year).

:roll

Thanks BrainyRox
puff , lol
Agree with Wolfpack. It could be 31st Dec. No one said anything about the twins being born on different days.
Of course I didn't say they were born on different days. That would give it away. IT was after all a "trick" teaser.
If this is a logic puzzle, I'm good with December 30th or 31st. If this were a trick puzzle, I'd say today;s date is March 31st. Willy will "celebrate" his birthday on April Fool's day, even though it is not his birthday. His twin will turn five on their actual birthday, which must be between Jan 1st and March 30th. Okay, it's a stretch.
