When you say "tuesday's puzzle", was the girl born on a tuesday ?

I have two children. One is a boy born on a Tuesday. What is the probability I have two boys? The first thing you think is “What has Tuesday got to do with it?” Well, it has everything to do with it.

1 in 3

In a two child family the possibilites are:

BB
BG
GB
GG

The first is a girl so that rules out BB

Leaving

BG
GB
GG

As two of those three possibilities include a boy what is left is 1 in 3
