A Thought Puzzle

Unread post by 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.

It looks like every one who wanted to vote has voted. The correct answer is switch. Switching doubles your odds of winning from 1 in 3 to 2 in 3. Let the argument begin.

This sounds more like what you find in a fortune cookie.

Is that a Joe Biden quote?

I think I know the identity of the 4 who voted switch. But I bet all 10 will claim they voted to switch.

Might just as well close it now. I doubt they are going to get smarter in 4 days.
