You may have heard this one before in various guises:
I have three doors. Behind 2 of them are pigs, behind the third is the Ferrari - your object is to win the Ferrari. You choose a door. I then open one of the other two doors and reveal a pig. I then give you the option of sticking with your original choice or switching to the other unopened door. Remember - I know where the car is! So: Stick, Switch or it's 50-50 so it doesn't matter?

It's a 50-50 chance, so it doesn't matter, no mattet which one I pick, right or wrong you'll always pick a pig.
Which basicaly means there are only two doors to choose between.

Me neither, but i'm pretty sure it's a lot more than the four meals from your pig.  Bad choice dude. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Well of course you would swap - if you have a 66% chance of winning a Ferrari why on earth would you blind yourself to the opportunity. Only losers with no sense of probability (or a prediliction towards GOATS) would stick with their original choice!!!!!!!!!
