Oh good. Another thread that's going to be full of people getting filtered by the Monty Hall problem. The solution is incredibly fucking simple. Instead of three doors, picture an infinite number of doors. If you switch doors, five people will die instead of just one. But if you push the goat off the bridge, it'll go back in time and kill Hitler. If the two remaining doors have a cat instead of a goat, one cat will be alive and the other cat will be dead, but you won't know which is which until you open the door. However, it's possible that the door with the car behind it doesn't actually have a car, it has a piece of cardboard in the shape of a car, and the host didn't know about it before letting you choose. One of the two goats always lies, and the other goat only ever tells the truth, but you don't know which is which. You can try asking the goats questions by slipping them notes you write in Chinese using the translation dictionary in the corner. So if you tell the host, "I don't know which door it is," the host will say, "I didn't know before, but now I know," to which you'll reply, "Actually, I know now too." All of this becomes moot if the producers of the show replace each part of the car one by one because then they won't know if it's still the same car anymore.

if you are being serious and not joking, the logic is

>the teacher narrows it down to 1-in-2 for you.
>you assume you have a 50/50 now
>but in reality there is a 1% chance you are right and a 99% chance you are wrong
the reason why is you made a 1-in-100 guess, 1% chance to be right. You recieved NEW information after that that removed 98 other options.
so you had a 1% chance to guess right initially, and now you are being told this other option MAY also be right, all others were definately wrong
The chance you guessed the right one is 1%, so the other one must be 99% chance of being right.

you could be right, but its unlikely.

doesnt matter if he has one himself
if there is 0 or 1 white hat in front of him, the second guy would know if hes a black hat if the thrid guy has a white hat, for if he had a white hat too then the first guy wouldve known he had a black hat
if the third guy had a black hat, then second guy has to say "I dont know" because he could either have a white or black hat - which would promt the first guys "i dont know"

therefore 3rd guy MUST have a black hat

Easily explained without any math bullshit:
Your initial choice was most likely wrong to begin with because 2 out of 3 doors lose
When the host eliminates one of the losing doors, you have a higher chance of winning when you switch because of the first point

doesnt matter if albert as a white hat or not, he cant know UNLESS both bernard and cheryl had a white hat, him saying "i dont know" proves either 0 or 1 white hats are in front of him, but definately not 2

Answer this.
Forget anything else.
You have 3 doors in front of you.
2 lose, 1 wins.
You pick at random.
Do you have a higher chance of picking a losing door or winning door?

It's not 50/50.
Let me try to explain it.
Imagine you ALWAYS swap. The price is behind door A for all subsequent examples.
>A: You lose
>B: You win
>C: You win
Now let's imagine you NEVER swap
>A: You win
>B: You lose
>C: You lose.
This becomes more and more obvious as you add doors, since at that point the previously 33% chance of initially picking correctly becomes even smaller.

You are almost there
You have a 50/50 chances of winning if the host eliminates a losing door BEFORE YOU PICK
The situation is specifically THAT YOU ALREADY PICKED A DOOR and are asked if switching would increase your chances of winning, which IT WOULD precisely because you initially only had a 1/3 chance of winning. That means your INITIAL PICK is most likely wrong THE ONLY OTHER DOOR NOW AVAILABLE is more likely the winning door.

Are you purposefully being dense?
If you pick A initially and then swap off it, then yes, you lose.
Unless you are clairvoyant, it is always beneficial to swap because (as you can see), in two out of three scenarios, swapping nets you a win.

Even if you don't get the statistics behind Monty Hall, you just need to understand that Monty Hall (the host of the show) had an incentive to give out the cars to SOME contestants, so he offered a higher chance of winning sometimes. Otherwise, no one would sign up to play on the show if no one ever wins.

I don't understand how the timing of the door elimination plays into this. Yes, I originally had a 1/3 chance of winning. But with the host eliminating one door, my initial choice has now been upgraded to 1/2 because there are only two doors left. Removing one door before or after my choice makes no difference to me.

Imagine if I have three hooded people lined up before me. One is a terrorist and two people are innocent. I can't see which one is which. I make the choice to shoot one of them. Before pulling the trigger, one of them gets killed by another person, they pull the hood off and it was an innocent person. Do I change my choice now? Doesn't matter, there is one innocent person and one terrorist standing before me. My chance to kill the right one is now 50/50.

They aren’t thirsty. They just know that it is in their best interest to always side with the woman especially if she is retarded.
Let me explain like this.
>two men in an office argue about the Monty Hall problem
>A proves to B that A is right and B consedes, OR A gives up and start talking about sports because B is too retarded
Versus
>A man and a woman in an office argue about the monty hall problem
>A proves that Jennifer Hayden is wrong
>Jennifer Hayden seemingly accepts defeat and walks away
>the next day A is called into HR to discuss an incidense of workplace harassment
>eventually A is forced to either sign a written confession that he harassed Jennifer Hayden, that Jennifer Hayden is right about the Monty Hall problem OR be fired on the spot
>A signs, but is still fired on the spot
>A is not only out of work but also blacklisted
>A week later A is called by the police to discuss a rape accusation
Fuck you, Jennifer Hayden!!!

Just extrapolate the example into more doors and it makes sense. Assume the host isn't just eliminating one door, he's trying to eliminate every single wrong door, but can't eliminate yours because you already chose it.

This seems like it has more to do with psychology than math, though? Switching would only be advantageous if one assumes the host WANTS the player to win and is providing them with a hint on which door they should choose, which may or may not actually be the case in this hypothetical scenario.

no it has nothing to do with psychology
Like others say, expand the number of losing doors.
Let's say there are 100 doors, 99 lose, 1 wins.
You chances of picking the winning door on the first try are significantly smaller than 1 out of 3 now.
Now the host eliminates 98 of the losing doors, leaving you with your door (a 1% chance to be a winning door) and one other unrevealed door.
Should you switch your initial 1% chance choice for the door that is most likely guaranteed to be the winning door now that the other 98 losers are eliminated?

>Removing one door before or after my choice makes no difference
yes it does
this is extremely simple
there are only two scenarios

1/3 of initial guesses will be correct
one of the two wrong doors is removed
you switch and lose

2/3 of initial guesses will be wrong
the only other wrong door is removed
you switch and win

if you are not convinced, alter the scenario
there are now 10 doors
8 wrong doors will be removed after guessing
do you switch?

And to add, yes, you could have miraculously picked 1 winning door out of 100, and switching will make you lose.
The possibility of losing by switching is never completely eliminated, but it is most definitely not a 50/50 chance of losing by switching.

It realistically shouldn't make a difference. The host opens all non-picked doors aside from one which is either winning (you picked a losing door initially) or losing (you picked a winning door initially)
The chance is 50/50.

The whole point is deception, though. The host will always have a goat door to open because there will always be at least one goat door, even if you picked the winning door. The point of opening a goat door is to make you second-guess your initial decision, regardless of whether or not it was correct.

Correct, and you should second guess your initial decision because it was a 1/3 chance of being right, and now that one of those losing doors has been eliminated, the only remaining door no one has picked has a higher chance of being the winner.

There is literally zero reason why, if you just chose one of three doors at random, that changing your choice after knowing you didnt pick a wrong door immediately makes it more likely your initial choice is the right one. It was 1 in 3 before, and its 1 in 2 now.

It was 1/3 before, correct. However, in 2/3 initial scenarios, switching gets you the prize. Just go through every possible scenario in your head. In 2/3 scenarios (any scenario where your initial guess is NOT correct), you win when you switch. How can you not get this?

These people (assuming it's not trolling) genuinely believe that anything that happened before final choice doesn't matter. If you give them option to choose from 100 doors and reveal 98, they think that these 98 never existed in first place. That's what I noticed while trying to argue with them.

because when you pick a door you are locking it in and Monty CANNOT touch it.
He can only touch ONE OF TWO LOSING DOORS.
if you picked a loser to begin with (you don't know this, monty does) then HE HAS TO ELIMINATE THE ONLY OTHER LOSING DOOR.
since we CAN ALL AGREE YOU HAVE A HIGHER CHANCE OF INITIALLY PICKING A LOSER, there is a GOOD CHANCE that the only other remaining door was the winner to begin with.

CHANCE OF YOUR DOORS HAVING CAR WILL NEVER INCREASE BECAUSE IT WAS ALREADY DECIDED WHEN YOU FIRST PICKED DOOR.
If there are 100 doors and you picked a door it stays 1%, you can't increase odds post factum because your choice was determined based on those old odds. That's all there is to it
