Can you suggest the solution to this puzzle?

Hi, I hope you are having a great day. I've got a challenging puzzle for us to solve!

50 newborn boys were born in a hospital and were kept in the same room. Due to a record-keeping error, the hospital does not know which baby belongs to which parents. There is no access to modern technology such as physical examination, DNA testing, footprints, or handprints. The parents cannot identify their children based on their cries, sounds, or other unique behaviors, and there were no witnesses present during the birth.

Furthermore, all the babies look exactly the same, with no distinguishable features or habits, and all the parents are identical twins.

The hospital needs to reunite the parents with their children, but there is no surefire way to do so as all the babies and parents are indistinguishable.

Can you help the hospital reunite the right parents with their children?

Yep. (NOTE: Nope.)

First you ask Reddit, then ChatGPT, then HN. Then you bikeshed the answers until someone points out some language quirk that passed unnoticed and reveals the answer.

Perhaps the babies were not born at the same time? Perhaps they put those little bracelets on the babies? Perhaps the babies never left their parents' side?

So I have asked the same question in the chatgpt subreddit. even if the babies were not born on the same time they have to be put on watch to check their health condition so they will be separated from their parents side.

Let the children grow older and then their faces will start to look like their dad.
