    So it does.

    Cousin (a.k.a "first cousin")
    Your first cousins are the people in your family who have two of the same grandparents as you. In other words, they are the children of your aunts and uncles.​

    Second Cousin
    Your second cousins are the people in your family who have the same great-grandparents as you, but not the same grandparents.​

    Third, Fourth, and Fifth Cousins
    Your third cousins have the same great-great-grandparents, fourth cousins have the same great-great-great-grandparents, and so on.​

    Removed
    When the word "removed" is used to describe a relationship, it indicates that the two people are from different generations. You and your first cousins are in the same generation (two generations younger than your grandparents), so the word "removed" is not used to describe your relationship.

    The words "once removed" mean that there is a difference of one generation. For example, your mother's first cousin is your first cousin, once removed. This is because your mother's first cousin is one generation younger than your grandparents and you are two generations younger than your grandparents. This one-generation difference equals "once removed."

    Twice removed means that there is a two-generation difference. You are two generations younger than a first cousin of your grandmother, so you and your grandmother's first cousin are first cousins, twice removed.​

    .....no. But I do think my attention span just shortened. And I kinda needed what little I had of it to finish up the rest of my math homework before my test tomorrow.
    Someone help me! I don't want to do probability again!!

    The probability of you understanding this post is zero.

    I understood this perfectly, and now I actually understand how the 'cousins system' works. Who says the Spam Zone isn't good for anything?

    You did not see the original, I am guessing. This was closer to his image.

    really? I think this made it even more confusing for me.
    If I had a chart or something in front of me while someone was explaining, that might make it easier.

    The probability of you following through on your wish to know it enough to finish reading the chart is incredibly small. I explained it in the simplest way possible. A chart would only be more confusing without the explanation.

    They were the same image after he edited, I thought.
