Twins and the clocks going back.



Here’s a question for you.

A mother gives birth to twins. One is born at 0150 in the morning and the clocks go back at 0200. The second one is born at 0110. Technically twin 2 is elder as the recorded time of birth is 0110.

If operating under Primogeniture, would twin 2 be top of the inheritance pile or twin 1?

As the parents will be getting fuck all sleep for the next 4 years they wont care.
 
I know parents of a pair of identical twins who freely admit that they couldn't tell them apart for a few weeks after taking the hospital tags off. I'm guessing they would just tell their favourite that they were the older one.
 
Clearly the correct answer is that the public announcement will be that there is only one child, and one of the the twins, selected at random, is imprisoned with an iron mask on and kept as a spare in case the main cold goes nuts and has to be replaced in a swashbuckling manner to safe the kingdom
