What is the correct solution to Myron's problem?

Myron gave the correct solution.

If we were told that the OLDEST child is a girl, the probability of the
other child being a girl is 1/2. But we weren't told that.



And you'd be willing to bet dicklet a million dollars on that?


I'm not interested in debating elementary combinatorics with mathematical
ignoramuses.


Well, given that you didn't understand my question, I'd say that's probably
a very wise decision.......it must be humiliating enough to lose debates
with everyone else.
