Wow, works good. I should learn python :) But yeah, you were absolutely right! It was hard for me to figure out because I was trying to find a mathematical reason for this, and I was wrong. I finally figured it out mathematically. The way you posit the problem the probability that the asked parents have another boy is (1/2)-(1/7/2).
This is really counter intuitive, the open vs. closed probability set through me off. Hey, thanks for putting up with my stubbornness!
