The Monty Hall problem
#9
RE: The Monty Hall problem
There was a study done on this I remember reading whereby a researcher proposed the problem to a variety of graduates from all fields to see what their logic was in making a decision.

Astoundingly, the vast majority of people 'stuck' with their choice, despite the decreasing odds in their favour of winning the prize. Was pretty interesting. I'll try and dig it out, think it was in a newspaper of some sort. Was interesting reading the responses by people.
