Seriously, it's all about the additional infomation given by opening the first door. (nm) - musubi Oct 23, 14:18 10
- What bugs me about it is that you presume that people will consider that Monte will not willingly open the door with the car. In other words, he KNOWS - Trish Oct 23, 14:32 3
  - It doesn't matter if Monte knows. By opening a non-car door, it's information regardless. (nm) - musubi Oct 23, 14:37 1
    - Yes, but that's only true if he opens a non-car door. He has to have advance info, because as Mara said, he's never opened the prize door. - Trish Oct 23, 14:42
  - Monte obviously knows. All those years on the show and he never opened the door with the grand prize. -- nm - mara Oct 23, 14:34
- On Deal or No Deal, you pick a case and every other case except 1 is opened with $1M not revealed. If given the opportunity to swap cases, should you? -- nm - Dano School Musical 3 Oct 23, 14:23 5

    - On deal or no deal, this is true, but not in the Monty Hall problem. (nm) - musubi Oct 23, 14:28 3
      - i had a statistician explain this to me, it's pretty interesting. -- nm - Danger Girl Oct 23, 14:30

        See David! It's "obvie"! (nm) - musubi Oct 23, 14:32
Monty Hall will give you the pole-axe....which door do you think it's behind? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 23, 14:18 3
- Quick, start playing Halo so that I can betray you. (nm) - David Oct 23, 14:19 2
  - When i get home this evening, I probably will play for a while - Will Hunting Oct 23, 14:20
  - The out of context connotations of this post make me laugh and laugh. -- nm - Max Oct 23, 14:20
