It seems like there is trouble agreeing over the probability aspect of this game. So, I've devised a cunning poll.

I have randomly put a car behind either door one, door two or door three.
Only I know where the car is.

Once you've picked which number you like the sound of, imagine I open a door with a goat behind it (the number doesn't matter) which isn't your door. You now have the chance to either swap to the remaining door or stick to the door you chose in the first place.

After a while, I'll say which door the car was behind and show the percentage of people who swapped who won, compared to the percentage of people who stuck and was. This should be a conclusion of whether it was better to stick or swap.

:cool:

If you don't understand the game, just pick the option which looks prettiest. :smile:

(and it would be good if votes were spread out amongst options, to achieve a fairer result)

I'll pick number one ...and then change it to the one with the goat.
Poor goat must be feeling really sad not only did you forget to wash him now nobody will be picking him and I expect he's feeling really rejected. I think your game is cruel to goats I'm going to call the RSPCA

Marilyn Vos Savant says it's better to switch doors.

Then switching must be what to do :smile:

What happens if you want to keep the goat?:rolleyes:
