    Default Boys girls puzzle solution

    The proportion is 1:1, because in every birth there's a 50% for each. To convience you:
    1/2 of the families have 1 boy.
    1/4 have 1 girl + 1 boy.
    1/8 have 2 girls + 1 boy.
    1/16 have 3 girls + 1 boy.
    and so on.
    So If N is the number of families, the total number of boys is:
    (1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 ...) N = N
    Which is obvious since every familiy has 1 boy.
    The total number of girls is:
    (1/4 + 2* 1/8 + 3* 1/16 + ) N = N.
