Abstract
- The article discusses the Two Boys problem, a probability problem attributed to mathematics writer Martin Gardner. Topics include the problem variation "Tuesday Boy" from the 2010 article "When Intuition and Math Probably Look Wrong" by J. Rehmeyer in the periodical "Science News," the use of conditional probability and Bayesian formula, and the notion of a bridging task that psychologically helps in solving mathematics problems.
