scratch that. I thought he had 4 brothers, so 5 families.
But wouldn't it still be .5^15 to get that exact order assuming the other brother has his 5th child and itnfits the pattern?

The odds of that happening are 100%. Because it happened.

I believe the odds would be .5^9 or 0.2%

The real answer is: .5^14 or 0.006%.

Yeah, it would be .5^15 if the third brother had a fifth child.
