The Monty Hall Problem
should you switch doors?
A game show has 3 doors. Behind 1 door is a car; behind the other 2 are goats. You pick a door. The host, who knows where the car is, always opens one of the other doors to reveal a goat, and always offers you the chance to switch to the last unopened door.
