My son, also bored with winter, hit me with this classic "Monty Hall" challenge last night. Goes something like: ================================================= A contestant is on "Let's Make a Deal". She is told that behind one of three curtains there is a new car. Behind the other two curtains are dirty old goats. She picks a curtain. Before it is opened, one of the other curtains is opened to reveal some dirty old goats. She is then given the opportunity to change her mind about which remaining curtain she thinks the car is behind. What should she do? ================================================ Surprisingly, I chose what is considered to be the correct answer. I'll let those that have never heard of this think about it and decide for themselves. Eisboch |

Of the three choices, two probabilities exist that she wins the car by switching her choice. She switches her choice to increase the probability of winning the car. -- Chaos! Panic! Disaster!

I told her Mouse was outside doing the driveway. G'ma asked if we pay her, Mrs. JW said "sure, she get's dinner and a place to sleep tonight"! Acutally, I discourage my kids from working until they graduate although they do have daily chores at home. I will not let them work during the school year, school is number one then. We have a "play" budget here in our home, It's not a lot, but as we pretty much split it equally, the kids have everything they need, including treats.... |
