What are the chances of two sets of identical twins born to two sets of identical twin parents being identical?

If a pair of identical twin men got it together with a pair of identical twin women and both couples became pregnant with identical twins, what are the chances of all four children being identical? Surely, being identical twins, both mothers and both fathers will have identical dominant genes, giving rise to identical children...? This is a question that has always fascinated me and I'm itching for there to be a huge possibility that this could actually happen!

Why do most men lose hair from their foreheads first? I've seen many old men who have a bald head with a ring of hair around it. Any particular reason why most people lose their hairs starting from the forehead, making it's way to the centre of their heads?

About the "speed of thought"

I have noticed that sometimes, in the morning, when I listen to a song I know very well, it seems to go a lot slower than I remember it. Also, especially in the evening, it may seem faster. I am sure it's not a hardware-related issue.

What is actually happening? Do we perceive/process information at different speeds? What exactly slows down or accelerates our mind? How would you define the (literally) speed of thought?
