What a fun post, pdurrant.

The first two were pretty standard. It's the last one that made me think this was one of those trick probability questions.

The third answer is driving me crazy. It's a 1/7 probability that he guess correctly that the boy was born on a Tuesday. So that changes all the formulas for continuing to work out the answer.

I am looking forward to the reasoning for the answer.
