You are so kind.
I still have doubts about the relevance of this.

Why there is nothing about the weight of the boy at the moment of birth. There is a 95% probability that it will be over 2.8 Kg. and 50% that it is over 3,6.

This seems to be more important for the well being of the child than being born under the influence of Mars (the god). I was born on Sunday (the laziest) Why this is not taken into account?

And the age of the captain?

Of course I am teasing. This is a nice thread. Better, it is a very nice thread.
