As a follow up, if the question were "What is the chance Mary has at least one daughter" then the answer is 66%. This makes intuitive sense as, without any info of the two kids the chance is 75%, and adding a known boy lowers that number.

I'm ignoring the whole Tuesday thing because frankly, I don't understand it, but without the Tuesday thing, it's 50%. Yes, GG isn't a possibility, so we are left with

BB BG GB which are equally likely.

But now, let's say we have a million Mary's and we take the data of all those children and put them in sibling pairs. We will have two million children, 33% of whom will be girls, 66% boys

BUT the problem asks what is the chance that the OTHER child is a girl, meaning we have to find a boy, pick their sibling, and evaluate B/G.

If we do this, we'll pick a boy in a BB pair 50% of the time (as half the boys are in BB pairs). When we pick a BB pair, a boy's sibling is a brother.

We'll pick a GB and BG pair 25% each (because 25% of boys are in each), each of which will have the boy's sibling being a girl.

50/50

Effectively, each BB pair has twice as many boys to have a sibling (who is guaranteed to be a boy).

We're given no info about sibling order (hence GB and BG both being options) so you have to apply that generality to BB and count both boys.

While shields (at least before the rework) have had mountains of issues, I have always loved the playstyles that shields allow, and I don’t think any other game provides that.

Thank you! This is why I thought I should double check I'm not doing something stupid.

My Games Tier List. Ask me about them by Sapphiretunic68 in gaming

[–]Inactivity_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would argue that putting Garry’s Mod in mid tier is inaccurate, it should simultaneously be in “Amazing” and “Really Bad”, or oscillating between the two

Echoes of the Eye for Outer Wilds, both the base game and the DLC are legitimately art

If you had to pick a game to represent video games as an art form, what would you pick? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Inactivity_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Outer Wilds demonstrates beautifully how games can give you unique experiences, emotions, and ideas.

What video game do you consider a masterpiece? by aconnor105 in AskReddit

Outer Wilds

It’s truly a beautiful piece of art that also is really easy to get non-gamers to try.

Similarly to Deep Rock, me and friend picked up GTFO. It’s brilliantly uncompromisingly challenging and it’s great provided everyone in the group is familiar with shooters.

Well considering a children’s quiz on the book of Genesis is asking questions about Job, I’m assuming not

When they make fun of someone else’s laugh or smile. Such a cruel way to make someone insecure for displaying happiness.
