[QUOTE="Bill V, post: 659245, member: 54538"] OK, here's one I posed on this board quite a while ago, that lots of people got wrong, and argued adamently (and incorrectly) that they were right--there are lots of new people on this board since then, so let's see if people can figure out the answer... You are on a "Let's Make a Deal"-type game show. There are three doors that you must choose from. One has a million dollars behind it, and the other two have goats. You pick a door to be yours. The host then opens one of the other doors, and reveals the goat behind it. (The host knows which door has the million dollars, and never opens that door. He will always need to choose between the two doors you didn't select, and if one of them has the million dollars, he will always open the other one.) The host then makes you an offer--you can stick with your original door, or you can switch to the other unopened door. What gives you the best chance of winning--switching to the other door, or staying with your original door? Or are your odds the same regardless of whether you change or not? [/QUOTE]
