OK then, another clue you shall get...............

...............tick tock.

20 T0 5 = 16.40


And in response to Illuminatis guess, so close yet so far
Edit: A bit of help as this ones quite hard, the fact that they're twins is irrelevant they could have been friends/people who'd just met and the exact spacing between birth doesn't matter so much.

so simple

Good job ilw !
And I'm still stumped about the twins. Does their gender have any sway in the equation?

I'll try and get his attention...I see he's in here somewhere...

HELLO.......ILW........COME OUT COME OUT WHEREVER YOU ARE !

[Illuminati]

Okay, guess number two

They have assumed American names and they had to fill out paperwork. Could it have been that Hans didn't take the time to remember his fully, so he put a name down completely different from the passport?

[ilw]

HELLO was at lunch

And no, the gender don't matter, both Illuminati's guesses are going along the right tracks, but....

[Riddler]

I'm completely stumped, I admit illuminati..........but I think the cigar withdrawal is taking it's toll on you !


Considering ilw's last.............I apologize for the wisecrack, illuminati !

[2nd gen noob]

is it anything to do with date format?
just saw on an american site there, they write the date as month/day/year, whereas europeans write it as day/month/year



i'm clutching at straws here, i think a clue is needed...

[ilw]

No clue needed 2nd gen noob, as u have just snatched the cigar from illuminati's clasping fingers
Congrats

Hans happened to be born the day after Fritz. ie 12th of July and 13th july
Because americans write the date differently to Europeans, Hans wrote down an impossible date of birth and was immediately suspected.

[Riddler]

How much does WWII play in the solution ?


Edit.....nice going 2nd gen! B)
