I not even joking when I say I *love* discussing the Monty Hall problem.

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
