    If you're smart that doesn't mean you will be successful in your life. Very interesting episode showing how clever you can be not only by fast counting but just seeing things that no one else could.

    Information Correct

    In the show it states the study is for identical and fraternal twins. Sheldon and Missy are fraternal twins.

    One of my favorite episodes...

    This is probably one of the better episodes for me. I really enjoyed the topic and how we got a surprise with both Sheldon & Missy at the end.

    They are both very intelligent & dumb but in different ways and I think this is the episode that finally shows that aspect of both of the twins in the series. It's as if both were born with a different half of the intelligence or at least that's how I saw it.

    A few of the twins that I have known have also had similar capabilities where both had strengths and weaknesses that complemented each other. I feel that's the case with Sheldon and Missy where they both make up for each others weaknesses.

    Overall I really connected with this episode. Great job to the writers and actors.

    waste of time

    Just a bunch of "there are different kinds of intelligence" feminist propaganda

    Information incorrect

    Although I enjoy watching Young Sheldon and think that the lead star is amazing, I have to correct the details with in this episode. Sheldon and Missy are conducted into a research study, George Senior refers to the study being conducted on identical twins. I am surprised that a team of writers who write about science, failed to recognise their own mistake. That said, I am also surprised that the young Sheldon, with all his knowledge, didn't question it either. Identical twins and non identical twins are not made the same way. Identical twins that are a boy and a girl, are IMPOSSIBLE. As with the creation of identical twins, this happens because the same egg splits, therefore you can only have one gender type. In the case of non-identical twins, two eggs are released. This is why you can have same sex non-identical twins and opposite sex non-identical twins. Sheldon and Missy are not identical twins, they are the opposite sex. The fact that one is a girl and one is a boy should tell you that they are not identical. Of course you can have non-identical same-sex twins, but you should notice that they are NOT identical, but they may have similarities that are commonly found in related siblings.

    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Dr. Sturgis brought George a box of kolaches when trying to recruit the twins for the research project. Kolaches are a kind of sweet roll pastry sold in many donut shops in South Texas and were invented in Czechoslovakia. This is the reference in the title of this episode, "Czechoslovakian wedding pastries".

      Missy Cooper: I have to tell you something.

      Dr. Sandra Thorpe: Why don't you finish the test first?

      Missy Cooper: This can't wait. The other doctor's got a crush on you.

      [George, Mary, Connie, and Dr. Sturgis are watching the exam on a monitor]

      Mary Cooper: Oh, dear Lord.

      [back to the exam room with Dr. Thorpe and Missy]

      Dr. Sandra Thorpe: Oh, um... I don't... I don't think so. Let's get back to the test.

      Missy Cooper: Okay.

      Dr. Sandra Thorpe: Why? What did you see?

      Missy Cooper: When you're not looking, he stares at your tushie.
