NEW CADET CHALLENGE

For Cadet Ferguson:  Explain the following notable quotation, "Where is Cadet Gomez?  The World wonders."  (I've paraphrased the original passage, which obviously did not refer to Gomez, although they had no idea where he was, either.  Tell me about the significance of the passage.)  Congratulations to Robert "King of Google" Ferguson.

For everyone else:  Lieutenant Fedorka has two children. At least one of them is a boy. What is the probability that both children are boys?  Explain. 


For Cadet Geer:  Assume that the cadet executive officer has a piercing/implant ("assume," because such an situation would obviously not occur in the real world).  What is the probability that the cadet executive officer will still have said piercing/implant when he ships out to the Leadership Academy? 
 
For Cadet Parker:  What word describes a woman who doesn't have all her fingers on one hand?
