In Lewis Carroll's book, Through the Looking Glass, the brothers are referred to as 'Tweedledum and Tweedledee', so Tweedledum comes first.But (contrariwise) in Disney's 1951 animated film, they are called 'Tweedledee and Tweedledum', so Tweedledee comes first.
Tweedledee
nd twice mine is 362 pounds. How much do each of Tweedledum and Tweedledee weigh? Tweedledum weighs 140 pounds and Tweedledee weighs 221 pounds.
In this hypothetical problem written by Richard Rusczyk: Tweedledum says, "The sum of your weight and twice mine is 361 pounds." Tweedledee says, "Contrariwise, the sum of your weight and twice mine is 362 pounds." If they are both correct, how much do Tweedledum and Tweedledee weigh together? Tweedledum and Tweedledee weigh 120 and 121 pounds respectively. (NB: Tweedledum and Tweedledee never actually had this converstion, and in the original book their weight remains a mystery...)

Tweedledee is Tweedledum's partner. They are characters from Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking-Glass" and are known for their matching appearances and similar personalities.
In his book, Through the Looking Glass, Lewis Carroll describes Tweedledum and Tweedledee as 'brothers'. But as they are so alike, it is reasonable to assume that they are identical twins.
Alice Through the Looking-Glass.
Tweedledum and Tweedledee are characters in Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass. Like Humpty Dumpty, they were taken from what was already a well known nursery rhyme.
Brothers
To get Tweedledee's side of it, divide 361 by 2 to get 180.5 lbs. Since they are the same exact size and age in proportion to their body size, shape, and age, then they are both 180.5 lbs. To find half of 361 lbs., just divide it by 2. To get Tweedledee's side of it, do the same for that number, and you get 181 lbs. They are arguing with one another as to what their weight is.
