Wondergirl Mar 7, 2009, 05:09 PM 1 out of 3 EuRa Mar 7, 2009, 05:19 PM Anybody else? And if you could explain why, I would love to hear it. EuRa Mar 7, 2009, 05:58 PM Woops, I meant to say your answer is incorrect, and that the correct answer is C, but I was going to give you props anyway. :) kp2171 Mar 7, 2009, 06:00 PM it doesnt matter if they reveal a "goat door" or not, and doesnt matter if the member switches. there are always three doors, and always only one car. the only possible arrangements are 1 2 3 g g c g c g c g g thats it... now look down vertically... if you choose ANY door, you will always have a 1 in 3 chance. kp2171 Mar 7, 2009, 06:02 PM actually, i was wrong and i get it. ill explain... kp2171 Mar 7, 2009, 06:06 PM assuming 1 2 3 g g c g c g c g g if i choose door 1, scenario 1 ( g g c)... theyll show me door 2 and i, by your rules, must switch to 3 = car if i choose door 1, scenario 2 (g c g)... theyll show me door 3 and i must switch to 2 = car if i choose door 1, scenario 3 (c g g)... theyll show me door 2 or 3, and ill switch to a goat door = no car. so choosing door one, with a goat door revealed, and a mandated switch (what i ignored at first) will get me a car in 2 or 3 tries. same goes for any other door chosen. my mistake was ignoring the mandated switch. galactus Mar 7, 2009, 06:14 PM See here: Monty Hall problem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem) EuRa Mar 7, 2009, 06:36 PM woot! ty kp2171!
