    Does Moore's Law Impact the Durability and Sustainability of Electronic Devices?

    Hi there, I tried to perform on a search on this forum but couldn't find a thread which answered my question. Is there any risk or known principles applicable to Moore's Law in terms of physical durability and sustainability of function? For small devices; would materials degrade faster...

    Why the Monty Hall puzzle is categorically 1/2 and not 2/3rds

    Don, that was so eloquently explained! I don't know why I was stuck at the 50:50 stage (maybe I was imagining the problem differently). After reading that I confess I have eaten humble pie.

    Why the Monty Hall puzzle is categorically 1/2 and not 2/3rds

    Hmm... I still don't get it. Does it depend if the rule changes or stays constant? (e.g. remove door C... left with two other doors. Meaning is the next part of the gameshow somehow unrelated to the first rule?) honestly struggling to comprehend switching is 2/3rd chance...

    Why the Monty Hall puzzle is categorically 1/2 and not 2/3rds

    I'm not quite 100% convinced it is 2/3rds. In my head, still debating whether it is a logic trap, akin to St Anselm "Ontological Proof of God" which 'logically' holds but empirically is shaky and can be challenged (from an atheistic/scientific/realist perspective from acquiring evidence outside...

    Why the Monty Hall puzzle is categorically 1/2 and not 2/3rds

    Ahh...I sort of get it now but I'm debating whether it will work in a social science context as opposed to a mathematical concept. I realized if the rules are extended to multiple doors, and the doors chosen by Monty are duds than this can lead a 2/3 interpretation. However, I'm wondering...

    Why the Monty Hall puzzle is categorically 1/2 and not 2/3rds

    Well it's a different puzzle, but. 1000-998 = 2 2 doors. 1 car for 1 door, 1 goat for another. For the remaining 998 doors if posed this question than this 50% chance assumption is incorrect. When it gets to two possible doors left than it is squarely 50%. Is this a problem of linguistic...

    Why the Monty Hall puzzle is categorically 1/2 and not 2/3rds

    I found a comment from DaveC426913 which matches my conclusion... I have also included another quote from another poster which concludes with 2/3rds probability and I've highlighting the part that I'm having trouble following. DaveC426913 wrote: Mister X: 2/3 hypothesis (I'm not a...

    Why the Monty Hall puzzle is categorically 1/2 and not 2/3rds

    Thanks Borek for that link I'm reading those threads to get my head round this... @pwsnafu This is where I'm having trouble grasping. It is true at the start your odds are always 1/3 of winning (before the door is opened and selected at random). I accept that the odds change when the door...

    Why the Monty Hall puzzle is categorically 1/2 and not 2/3rds

    So I was browsing the Wikipedia article concerning The Monty Hall Paradox, and I seem to take great issue with the assumption that switching results in a 2/3 probability of winning a car. (hold on pressed enter by mistake... editing now watch this space) My reasons are as follows (and I don't...
