Human chimera

Trick question

One or more of the people is a genetic chimera — conjoined twins *joined into one body*

E.g. blood test may indicate that "the mother is not the mother"

So these "five people" could represent six or more genetically distinct organisms

  • Snap.svg - JavaScript SVG library
  • Scalable Vector Graphics - an Extensible Markup Language (XML)-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics with support for interactivity and animation. The SVG specification is an open standard developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) since 1999. SVG images and their behaviors are defined in XML text files. This means that they can be searched, indexed, scripted, and compressed. As XML files, SVG images can be created and edited with any text editor, as well as with drawing software.
