Come forth and be confused!

Ready to lose? I hope so.

You're in a competition, and there are 3 doors. Behind one door is a prize, behind the other two... NOTHING! You choose a door, but the host goes up and opens one of the other doors before your choice is rendered. Bam, there is nothing behind that door (that the host selected).

Now the question, do you stay with your original door or do you switch doors at this point?

scorpio1690 · 01-10-2004, 01:08 PM

I shoot the host, audience, cameramen and director or w/e then open all three doors cause the fucker lied and the prize was behind that door.

SomeAsnGuy · 01-10-2004, 01:08 PM

I would open the door, if its nothin go on the other lol

Siidu · 01-10-2004, 01:10 PM

Well... why switch doors if your choice hasn't been rendered. So I think it'd be better off to stay? And wait? I dunno. I think I lost.

**aperson** · 01-10-2004, 01:10 PM

Siidu loses.

**Cenright** · 01-10-2004, 01:12 PM

When he opens a door, that just increases your chance from 33% to 50% It does not matter if you change your choice or not because the host does not know your choice because you have not told them anything.

**aperson** · 01-10-2004, 01:16 PM

Cenright loses.

Also Cen, note that the host does know your choice. Why do you think I said 'the host opens one of the other doors.'

VxDx · 01-10-2004, 01:22 PM

I'm confused as to the question. What do you mean by "...before your choice is rendered"?

**aperson** · 01-10-2004, 01:23 PM

Before you open the door you choose... He goes and opens one of the other 2 doors.

Anticrombie0909 · 01-10-2004, 01:38 PM

You stick with the one you chose because....I dunno.

VxDx · 01-10-2004, 01:41 PM

it really wouldn't matter. there's a 50/50 chance of it being in either door.

Wrong.

Anticrombie0909 · 01-10-2004, 01:55 PM

Well wtf is the answer already? It's driving me nuts.

And if it is something stupid like 'It was actually in the door the guy opened but it was under an invisible sheet' I'm just gonna fucking snap.

hydrojakep · 01-10-2004, 01:57 PM

It isn't, but you'll snap anyway because you wouldn't believe me.

scorpio1690 · 01-10-2004, 02:12 PM

Then fucking tell us

**Moogy** · 01-10-2004, 02:14 PM

Great. My brain hurts now.

**aperson** · 01-10-2004, 02:14 PM

Okay.

You should switch doors, because the other door has a 66% chance of being the correct one.

MystieRains · 01-10-2004, 02:15 PM

Okay, crap. I guess I'll write and think at the same time. So, three doors. 33% chance you'll actually win whatever prize is in there. 66% you'll have a wonderful one way ticket to thin air. One door is opened, w()()t. Nothing there. You cleared that. You're not going to choose the one that's been opened of course, but still remains the fact there's still three doors, so it can't be a 50/50 thing, because you didn't start with 2 doors. You had 33% of choosing the right door, and 66% of choosing the wrong. Therefore, it'd be best if you switched doors because there's a better chance of you being right. Right?

To me that kinda makes sense, but then again, maybe I'm just an idiot... x.x

PS - Bloody fucking hell, You just couldn't wait till I was done, could you?!

PPS - I might as well just keep the crap up, cause someone might need it explained. I guess I should be happy I was right, but it's so much less satifying when I have my post after his ;-;
