For any woman to have two children of different ages, the four equally likely outcomes are:
Two boys
Older boy, younger girl
Older girl, younger boy
Two girls

10. The Green Door.
Assume Freedom is behind the red door. All three doors would then have true statements which we know is not possible since one of them must be false.
Assume Freedom is behind the blue door. All three doors would then have false statements which we know is not possible since one of them must be true.
Freedom is therefore behind the green door. The blue door and the green door have true statements and the red door has a false statement.
