It is very, very counter intuitive. I'm a dab hand at probability, but it suckered me right in first time I saw it. The door opening is a kind of misdirection; it doesn't tell you what it appears to tell you, because of the way that monty fucker has to choose.

I've got a really hard probability question if anyone is interested. Maybe I should do another thread for it. I've as yet not been able to solve it. That is very embarresing for me to admit!

Post that fuckmothering problem. Start a thread or do whatever necessary, I want to solve it alive.
