    OK, so since the twins are 2 babies and triplets are 3 babies and quadruplets are 4 babies then the chance you get a quadruplet baby is higher than their relative birth occurence, because they're double the babies! right? so in fact, to get the chance of a triplet baby, you divide the number of triplets*3 (three babies for every triplet) with (twins x 2 + triplets x 3 + quadruplets x 4 + quintuplets x5) '

    there is only 85 quintuplets, but they introduce 425 babies so you have to multiply the 85 quintuplets with 5
