exercice 1.2 in Chapter 1 formulation #26

Hi Allen,

I'm trying to solve exercice 1.2 in Chapter 1. I have trouble understanding what you mean by "You ask if either child is a girl and they say yes." (I'm not a native speaker, so this could be the reason I have a hard time understanding that sentence). I have come up with a way of disambiguating this sentence for me as: "They have Child 1 and Child 2. You ask if Child 1 is a girl and they say yes." or "They have Child 1 and Child 2. You ask if Child 2 is a girl and they say yes."
Is this the correct interpretation?

Thanks for your help. Regards, Florian
