If a right-handed female and a left-handed male produce three male offspring, what are the chances that two of the offspring will be left-handed, and that the oldest will have an exceptional ability to find four-leaf clovers?

You realize that probability is just that - probability. We can tell about the left-handedness, but my guess is that the father does not find four-leaf clovers and the mother does. The probability that I'm right on this matter is 100%.
What are the chances that the two left-handed sons are similar in other ways?

It's not just the parents. It goes way back t great grandparents or further back. And you can never tell if they were right or left handed because left handed people were made to write with their right in the old days. (By old I mean very old.)
