Price is Right -- Probablity Puzzle
Forgive me if this has been posted before. If you have seen this puzzle please or know the answer do not respond--I am curious to see how well 2+2 can work out this puzzle that is nothing more than simple probability, but surprisingly difficult.
_____________________________________________ You are on The Price is Right. In front of are three doors to choose from. Behind one door lies one million dollars, which you want to win; the other two a donkey. You are allowed to pick one door and will win the prize that lies behind it. However, Bob Barker does open your door immediately. To build suspense, Bob Barker always does the following: He opens one of the other doors you have not chosen and reveals a donkey. He then gives you a chance to change your mind: you can now either switch and pick the other closed door or stay with your original choice. Which strategy gives the best chance of winning the million bucks?

Re: Price is Right -- Probablity Puzzle
I got a better puzzle:
me and two of my friends, ill call them pma and stem, check into a love shack hotel, purely by mistake. we didn’t know it was a lovers retreat, we really didn’t. manager guy charges us $30 later when we are in our room (not having sex mind you) he remembers its only $25. manager guy says [censored] those ghey guys and pockets the $5. question is, how did we all fit into the hot tub?
