Looks like this is the Boy or Girl paradox [0], which has ambiguity problems.

I love how Wikipedia helpfully informs us that 'Biologically, according to studies of the human sex ratio, it is more likely for any one person to be born into the male sex than the female sex.' as though it is somehow relevant or has anything to do with the actual paradox being discussed...

NOTE I've since edited the Wiki page, and deleted the sentence - since it isn't relevant and there was no citation for the claim!
