Default Re: Screwed up- read this before answering.

The difference is that in the problem with the test, the instructor does not know what you picked when he tells you C is wrong. So she is right. In the Monty Hall problem, the possibility that you chose the wrong door and the host tells you that you are wrong does not exist, where it does in the quiz problem.
