    Unless there's something else in the question, the book is stupid and you're right

    Yep - probability for a kitten to be a specific color is 1/2 (black or brown). Thus, for both to be a specific color (the same in this case) would be 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4. Now, if there were 3 kittens, then you'd get (1/2)^3 = 1/8.

    No offense to the book, but that's a pretty simple question to get wrong.
