I have two children. One is a boy born on a Tuesday. What’s the probability that the other is a boy?
Gary Foshee, G4G 2010(?)
“There are two X, [at least] one is a Y”
“He has two ex-girlfriends who stalk him. One of them has contacted me....”
“Henry VIII had two wives called Anne, one of them was beheaded....”
“I have two in my team, one is a bloke with a physics degree,
“You have a choice of fruit, one is a banana going soft at one end...
the other is a bloke with no qualifications”
the other is an apple with a wasp hole in it.”
“There are two X, at least one is a Y”
“I have two children, at least one of them isn’t a layabout.”
‘At least’ means ‘Thank goodness’
