this is from 21

I got it from the book "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime." It's a famous logic problem. I forget it's real name though.

I would take my llama then attack the game show people with it and ride home in my car

[drumafreak19]

@mesniburekfan false if you switch your chances of getting the car are 6.66666666666666666 and if you stand it is 3.3333333333333333

it's the monty hall problem

This was from the movie 21. the answer os you switch because you go from having a 2/3 chance of being wrong from your initial choice, to having a 1/2 chance if you change your choice (this time given only 2 options).

Actually logically it shouldn't make a difference if you keep your choice or change it, but the way I remember it , your odds are better mathematically if you change your choice.

dude... your trying to compare overlaying context data... in other words... 1/3 was your odds on each door at first... then the denominator was subtracted by 1... making 1/2 for both of the doors... your comparing the invert of each... and still subtracting the denominator when you should be adding... so i will go though it your way... when it is started you have a 2/3 of losing .. then when one is shown you would have a 2/4 : 1/2 chance... not a 2/2 : 100% chance... do you understand?

[anniro121]

it is better to change because when you start you have a 1 in three chance which means you had a 2/3 chance of getting it wrong.
