Default Re: Typo in Sklansky Column

True, but I'm sure it's a typo because of the suggestion that someone might incorrectly think the answer should be 17 (instead of 21). Just changing girls to boys causes everything else to make perfect sense.

but what if one of the children who *isn't* a boy also *isn't* a girl. that happens sometimes, sadly. many corrections are needed to make this column make sense; Sklansky should make them before someone loses a bundle in a high stakes game

In my original post, I attempted, in all innocence, to point out a typo in David Sklansky's most recent column. I never considered the possibility that I was instigating a debate---I mean, what is there to debate? Guys: this is not complicated stuff. Let's give it a rest.

You guys had me worried. Mike, if you're ever in New York City, I'll buy you a pint of Guinness and introduce you to a fantastic Irish card magician at a pub called Cronin & Phelan's.
