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.
