A lawyer says he has two new babies to show you, but he doesn't know whether they're male, female, or a pair. You tell him that you want only a male, and he telephones the fellow who's setting them on fire. "Is at least one a male?" he asks him. "Yes!" he informs you with a smile. What is the probability that the other one is a male?
