Either your retarded or these PHD holders are retarded

You're.

Anyways, you totally misunderstood the question.

You have chosen a door, the host then opens a DIFFERENT door, one with a goat behind it, and then he gives you one final chance, a la "Is that your FINAL answer?", to change your mind, and switch to the other remaining choice.

... I donno what to say dude, most people seemed to have got that.

I'm looking forward to it dude ^_^

See ya then! Good night.

what i don't get about this question, and what no one has said to me, is the relationship between the first and second choice...could someone please tell me that?

The relationship is the starting point.

Because of the first part, we are most likely to be starting from the wrong answer, therefore we should switch.

stupid child

leave with the goat

Well, that's the last time I answer a tough nut like that when I'm half asleep. I've done a little checking up on the subjuct, and submit to you some findings to back up your claim:
Drexel university math forum
An article about it
and another article about it
Sorry about my goat-like stubornness, I'm just like that when I'm tired.

I would to the host to go fuck himself and open the door that I originally picked!

yes , but what if you got lucky & the car was on the first choise , you would feel so stpid , so its more about luck that probability.

id change cause it might be the host trying to help me
anyway same odds even if u do change it

That would be The Curious incident of the Dog in the Night-time. Which the topic starter said on the first page. I read it yesterday, probably the best book i have ever read and i remembered this thread. It still seemed that a lot of people didn't get it so i'll put it in a real simple way, like the book did for me.

- The player picks goat number 1. The game host picks the other goat. Switching will WIN the car.

- The player picks goat number 2. The game host picks the other goat. Switching will WIN the car.

- The player picks the car. The game host picks either of the two goats. Switching will LOSE.

So 2/3 chance that you switch you'll win the car.

JUST SAY PICK THE OTHER DOOR. cause if you got the goat, and you fuck up, you get a goat anyways, where as you have SOME chance of getting a car if you choose to fuck the goat and go for another door.
