Re: Maths problems (interesting ones)
Okay let's try this again...
Four possible combinations of children. Right? That's simple math too, you have two inputs, four outputs. A girl answers the door... This is GIVEN. We've now determined that it is impossible for the family to have a boy/boy combination. Since a girl answering the door is GIVEN, it leaves us with three possibilities. Two of those possibilites have boys. One possibility has a second girl. I don't know how else to go aboot this, but I for one am going to trust my OAC finite before I trust logic that I feel is flawed.
