If there was a chance that the host could have revealed the prize, that makes a difference. Just because there happened to be nothing behind the door that was opened doesn't mean you should switch, unless you know that was done purposefully.

Are you serious? Math doesn't care about the intention of variables.	Java	April 02, 2009 08:59PM

In other words: Isildur is smart. Naddok is dumb. nt	Java	April 01, 2009 05:34AM
I'd rather be right, which I am. n/t	naddok	April 02, 2009 07:05PM
You're right. The rest of the world, including demonstrated simulations.. is wrong. Of course. I'm the stupid one, not you. You're not a dumb fucking retard at all. nt	Java	April 02, 2009 08:57PM
But for all intents and purposes, assuming the host didn't open the right door, Java/Rade are correct. nt	istirith	March 30, 2009 11:00PM
Huh?	Tiberius Odgen	March 31, 2009 06:05AM
It does, it's a mathematical trick	cyril	March 31, 2009 06:41AM
You actually have a 66% chance of being right if you change choices.	Death_Claw	March 31, 2009 10:46AM
Well I'll Be Damned. I wrote a little program also to verify. It's totally legit..	Jib	March 31, 2009 02:09PM
