there are 3 doors. behind 2 of them are goats, and behind the other is 1 hundred million dollars. You, get to choose a door. say you chose door 1. before the host opens the door, he opens door 3. revealing a goat. now, before he shows you what is behind the door you chose, he gives you the oportunity to switch. do you switch? This is the monty hall problem. for some reason, the best ansewer is to switch. what do you think, im lost on all this. 2008-01-03T03:05:13Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/17431 <p>After consulting wikipedia, I find that the contestant has a 2/3 chance of winning if he switches, instead of a 1/2 like we would assume. Mathematically, it is slightly better to switch. Personally, I would try to gauge the hosts&#8217; tonality, and body language before deciding.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/17431?basename=32350 2008-01-03T03:05:13Z Mistress Elsha Hawk http://ficlets.com/authors/mistress_elsha_hawk <p>Wow&#8230; Still processing.
