I just can not understand your arguement 1 is a boy one is a mystery it's 50-50 you saying boy-girl {not equal} to girl-boy is obsured! It's the same thing.

Ok so your saying is that Case 2 and Case 3 are differant If you forget the whole age part It's just the way you say it, it's the order

Why is 1 and 2 not the same thing seeing as the problem does not PRSENT ANY IDENTIFIERS. They could be twins

Ok let me understand this 1 is a Boy- 1 is a girl 1 is a boy- 1 is a boy 1 is a girl -1 is a boy 1/3 what is what you are saying

Tullius... the graphs do not confuse me. let me put it to you this way... In a box I have a 1 blue crayon or a 1 Orange crayon. What are the odds that it is a blue crayon. 50% right? Back to the child problem. If you have 1 child that is a boy and a mystery child (the box) you have who options boy (blue) girl (oranage). What is the probability that the mystery child is a boy(Blue) 50%!

@Tullius Ahh! What I'm saying is that you inky have two options for hand two wether hand two is the left or right hand Graphs only confuse this The left or right hand arguement is not valid! We know 1 crayon is red. We know that in the other hand there is either a Blue crayon or a Orange crayon. What is the probability that IN HAND TWO there is a Blue crayon or an Orange crayon. You ONLY HAVE TWO OPTIONS! Blue or Orange! 50%-50%

How is Case 1 and Case 2 the same? Let me elaborate: I never said anything about hands what if I'm an amputee (I'm not serious about that) All I'm saying is that I said in one of my hands nothing about which hand it frankly does not matter. I asked you to find the probability that the other crayon is red or orange

Your Missing the point. Let me put it this way I walk up to you right now I ask you In one of my hands is a red crayon. The my other hand their is either and orange crayon or a red crayon what is the probability that it is orange or red?

The 1/3 probability is wrong because we do not have the girl girl option available. Your arguement if you believe 1/3 is: boy-boy girl-boy girl-girl You arguement if you believe 1/4 is: boy-boy boy-girl girl-boy girl-girl The girl option obviously not relevant and the boy-girl arguement is the same as the girl-boy arguement because non are assigned a number, hence they can be GROUPED as the same on. Leaving you with two options: 1. boy-boy 2. boy-girl/girl-boy

Your logic is wrong for the following reasons. Case 1 is not even in the purview of the question. Case 2 & 3 can be group together. We no that one of the two kids is a boy not a "group A" or a "group B" The problem simpily says "other" not Kid B or Kid A we do not know which even know which one is which. This means that: 1 is a boy the other can either be a boy or a girl For example If I hold up two hands with two crayons in each and say one is red and other may be red or orange and I ask you to find the probability that it is a red or orange crayon What differance does it make as to wether the red is in my left or right hand. You already know I one is red. You are find out the second. If I said the same thing the next day and then just switched the hand on you it does not make a differance.

I know it's super original isn't it.

It's a joke. scientifically assuming we are not sucked into the black hole the suns light would be sucked into it causing world wide famine and eventual death

But they do not and the ratio is not fixed as people are born and die every second

If anyone objects to the 50%-50% probability please provide an a counter instead of just saything "math!" or "grammar!" Please do not use data that changed every second either.

I saw this in a differant section but it was for live streams. This is just a list of private companies SpaceX Blue Orgin ULA (sort of) RocketLab Relativity Space Bigelow Aerospace Virgin Galactic (sort of) Orbix (In theory) Arianespace Orbital ATK Lockheed Martian Northrop Grumman If I missed some send me a PM

We would not be here

I'm not wrong

Read what I said above Rolling a dice (assuming it is fair) is the result of aerodynamics and gravity. If you set it up right you will land the same numbers every time.

Probability is the result of statistics If I say tell me right now will an asteroid collide with earth but gave you no STATISTICS/ numbers (which are derived from statistics) your chance of being right is 50/50 You are presented with statistics: 2 Children 1 is a boy the other is unknown. the only two options are boy and girl These are the statistics So what is the probability that it will be a boy? 50% given that is the only statistic in all of this that is not changing every second.

These numbers are literally changed EVERY second Is also is not mentioned in the problem also! You can not take statistics that are not even given as a fact. You only have 2 options boy or girl a statement about the possibility of twins and such is not given in the statement.

This is like one of those fake video "IQ" test they either are dumb or prank you with some grammar or random clue because hidden in the placement of a comma Yes but those numbers are not calculable and not given

1. Boy 2. Girl That is all there is this is not a probability puzzle.

There are only two options (if you believe what the majority of society believes)

Yes it's 50-50

Mine is... default
