100. The rate of approach is different, however, 

 in the different cases. The curves fall into two 

 pairs. The brother X sister and the double cousin 

 curves are precisely alike so far as concerns their 

 curvature or shape at any given point. Similarly, 

 the parent X offspring and single cousin curves 

 are of the same shape. The essential point of 

 difference is that the cousin curves lag a generation 

 behind the others.
