"Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors: Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say No. 1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, "Do you want to pick door No. 2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?"
* Behind each of three doors is either a goat or a car (two goats, one car). * The player picks one of the three doors. The contents are not revealed. * The game host knows what is behind each door. * The game host must open one of the remaining doors and must make the offer to switch. * The game host will always open a door with a goat. * That is, if the player picks a door with a goat, the game host picks the other door with a goat. * And if the player picks the door with a car, the game host randomly picks either of the two doors with a goat. * The host offers the player the chance to either claim what is behind the originally-chosen door, or to switch, claiming what is behind the one remaining door. Do the player's odds of getting the car increase by switching? IF YOU HAVE ALREADY HEARD THIS BRAIN TEASER, PLEASE DO NOT PARTICIPATE UNTIL SOME PEOPLE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO ANSWER IT |
