This is where it gets so ambiguous and well... stupid really. At one point in the article they mention that the numbers change depending on why the son born on tuesday was mentioned, as in, "I'm incredibly stupid and live my life based on a set of arbitrary rules, and I'll only mention the gender of one of my children if it is a boy that was born on a tuesday, but otherwise wouldn't tell you anything other than the number of children."
So in that instance, the biological probability isn't the only thing taken into account, but the motivation to tell you the gender and day are taken into account as well.
