Re: [Phys-l] Monty Hall problem



Quoting chuck britton <cvbritton@mac.com>:
I'm still totally lost here.
Three doors, you choose one, the host opens a goat door.
You can then double your chances of winning (a car or a billion
dollars) by switching your choice.

What am I missing??? (please)

So you don't like her explanation - does that change the 'facts'? (as
Moynihan would say)

In The Power of Logical Thinking, Marilyn (1996:15) quotes cognitive psychologist Massimo Piattelli-Palmarini as saying "that even Nobel physicists systematically give the wrong answer, and that they insist on it, and they are ready to berate in print those who propose the right answer."

Perhaps, the Nobel physicists are considering "quantum monty hall problem".
