Have a safe break everyone. Now see if you can crack this question (see what I did there?)
Ritchie's birthday landed on a Thursday this year. He asks people at random if they have two children and also if one is a
boy born on a Thursday. After a long search he finally finds someone who
answers yes. What is the probability that this person's two children are both boys?
Assume an equal chance of giving birth to either sex and an equal chance
to giving birth on any day of the week.
