A Thought Puzzle

[Cruisin with Tooz]

You are a contestant on a game show, where you have to choose 1 of 3 doors. Behind 1 door is the prize. Behind the other 2 doors are worthless booby prizes. After you make your selection, the MC opens 1 of the 2 unselected doors to show you the location of 1 of the booby prizes. He then gives you the option to change your selection to the other unopened unselected door. Should you switch your choice?

Please refrain from posting your reason for your choice for now. I want everyone to vote their choice without being influenced.

Does home owners insurance cover something like that?

Not unless you have a special rider. Can't sue the home builder after a few years....For a 20 dollar piece times X number of houses....

And those Home Serve ads you see on TV, or get through your local utilities...

Read the fine print. Sewer/water, are only covered from natural deterioration. Not tree roots.

Sun shines on an old dogs ass every now and again.

Thought Puzzle #3:
There are 100 light bulbs, numbered 1 to 100. All of them are initially off. There are 100 people, numbered 1 to 100. Each person, in numerical order, flips the switches on certain bulbs according to his number. Starting with the bulb corresponding to his number he flips the switch of that bulb and every bulb that is a multiple of his number. So person 1 flips all 100 switches. Person 2 flips the switches on bulbs 2,4,6,8,10...100. Person 3 flips the switches on bulbs 3,6,9,12,15...99. Person 4 flips switches 4,8,12,16,20...100. And so on. Person 50 is the last one to flip more than 1 switch, switches 50 and 100. Every person higher than 50 only flips 1 switch, the one corresponding to his number. After person 100 flips switch 100, which if any of the bulbs are "on"?

Post your answer, but no explanation.

Side note to Soul: You can assume the 100 people are all semi-nude Asian strippers.

Everyone should get this one....

What disappears as soon as you say its name?

No one should get this one....

If you get this one you have cheated....

Thought Puzzle #3 SOLUTION

XRamFan was correctomundo. Congrats. You passed your Google interview question.

Brief explanation:
Any bulb switch flipped an even number of times would remain "off". Any bulb switch flipped an odd number of times would be "on". To find out how many times any given switch was flipped, you factor that bulb switch number. For most bulb numbers those factors are paired, so for most bulbs there will be an even number of people who flip that switch. EG, bulb 96 can be factored as 1x96, 2x48, 3x32, 4x24, 6x16 and 8x12. So Persons 1,96,2,48,3,32,4,24,6,16,8 and 12 (12 people in total as 6 pairs) flip switch 96. So it remains "off". Consider bulb 100. 100 can be factored as 1x100, 2x50, 4x25, 5x20 and 10x10. So persons 1,100,2, 50, 4, 25, 5, 20 and 10 (9 in total) flip switch 100. So bulb 100 will be "on".

What gives rise to an odd number of factors for 100? It occurs because 100 is a perfect square (a perfect square is any number whose square root is a whole number). All of its factors occur in pairs except 10x10. Person 10 only flips switch 100 once, not twice. So only bulbs that are a perfect square will have an odd number of factors and be "on" at the end. Bulbs 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81 and 100.
