At least one is a girl, because you know that for reasons, but you don't know which is which. So the possibilities are:

GG
GB
BG

Giving us a 1/3 chance of them both being girls.

GB and BG cancel eachother out as they are the same outcome.

You could write it as:

g1g2
g2g1
(b-g1
b-g2
or
g1b-
g2b-)

But it's still 2/4 or 50%.

Only 1 boy can exist so it is unnumbered and it can't be both sides so it's an interchangeable not simultaneously present. This is quantum at its core, numbers of definitive value in undefinitive location.

They are not the same outcome
