Huma gets the wind instrument one, with the pipe organ and the accordion! The bagpipes don't count, because they ARE blown into: The piper blows into the bag, then squeezes the bag under his arm to force the air out the chanter & the drones. The 3rd instrument is the Aeolean harp--its strings are so delicate that they can be moved by a slight breeze. The Greeks used to put them high on walls or up on trees to make ethereal music when the wind blew.

I think you're right about the doors, Barry--I must just be remembering wrong. For those that doubt, think of the solution this way: There is a 33.3% chance that the prize is behind Door 1. This probability WILL NOT CHANGE. The game-show host opens Door 2 to reveal a goat, leaving Door 3 as the only other option. Since Door 1 has a 33% chance of being the winner, the remaining 66.6% MUST lie with Door 3.
