  (Asked by: username_0 on 2019-07-22)
  
  I noticed what I considered a close resemblance of a woman B to another woman A which led to a close relative A labelled C, who B bore an even stronger resemblance to than she did to A.
  
  However I feel that if I had compared A to C directly I wouldn't have detected the blood relationship so strongly.
  
  I am just wondering whether there is some mathematical underpinning to my perception and strong intuition that B bore a strong resemblance to A.
