In this note we show that for any pair of elliptic curves E1, E2 over ℚ with j-invariant equal to 0, we can find a polynomial D ∈ ℤ[u, v, w, t] such that the sextic twists of the curves E1, E2 by D(u, v, w, t) have rank ≥ 2 over the field ℚ(u, v, w, t). A similar result is proved for simultaneous quartic twists of pairs of elliptic curves with j-invariant 1728.
