Why is it that BB and BB are being counted separately? I thought that order didn’t matter: you could have two girls, a boy and a girl (or vice versa, same thing), or a two boys. (And then by eliminating two girls you’d have a 50/50 chance).

Because describing it as I did in that comment is a (very) shorthand way of getting at how it was explained in full by @[email protected] in this comment.
