At least one boy born on a Tuesday

A family has two children, each independently equally likely to be a boy or a girl, and each equally likely to be born on any of the seven days of the week.

Given that at least one child is a boy born on a Tuesday, what is the probability that both children are boys?

Show a hint

Each child now has 2×7=142 \times 7 = 14 equally likely "type" labels. Count the outcomes with at least one boy-born-on-Tuesday, then how many of those have two boys.
