> Both twins have an adopted brother whose name is Larry.

I mean I don't see any plausible way this could be genetic. A child doesn't have any meaningful level of control over who their parents choose to adopt or what they name them.

I was wondering if you'd cover this! I hope you had a nice honeymoon. The other complicating factor here is how the twins studying together for the duration of their training program would influence their exam answers. You'd expect two people who've studied intensively together to pick the same wrong answers more frequently than two students who studied independently. (Make those two students identical twins on top of that and I assume their propensity to get tripped up by the same wrong answers is a little higher.)

I don't actually know how much of the training program they did together, but I don't hear anyone considering it as a factor. I see it from time to time (e.g., a group of students who studied together tending to misunderstand operant conditioning terms the same way).
