I apologise to whoever I have flamed for claiming the answer to be 1/3 in the question *At least one of the two kids of a family is a girl, what is the chance that both are girls*. However, the answer to the question *Given that one of the two kids of a family is a girl, what is the chance that the other is also a girl* stays 1/2 . The dice problem I had right all along. --Ralph
