Again, the question is very poor because it can be interpreted multiple ways. The only way that it can be interpreted so that the given...

That answer would only be correct if the question meant that both beams in the pair were composed of protons or both beams were composed...

This is a poorly worded question. Are they talking about one pair of beams one containing protons and the other electrons? Or one pair...

This is not true. If the contestant picks a loser at the first stage then Monty can only open one door because there is only one loser...

To put it another way, the contestant is presented with ##\{ \frac{1}{3},\frac{1}{3},\frac{1}{3} \}## but before a choice is made, the...

It's important for an explanation to clearly distinguish between the case where the host performs a "filtering selection" by...

Yup. That's exactly what happened to me. The process of writing the program forces you to untangle and define the logic. By the time I...

I think the answer is quite subtle. As Dave says: Then you have to sit down and calculate. I.e. analyse the possible outcomes and...

The naive analyst might wonder why you have it changing to ##\{ \frac{1}{3},0,\frac{2}{3} \}## and not ##\{ \frac{1}{2},0,\frac{1}{2}...

Damn that's well put together.

Another way to show that this is a false claim is to directly calculate the amount of information entropy before and after opening the...

No. It just means that your assumption is wrong. Look, your assumption is basically that something happened which is so fast that...

That is an impossible assumption. The differential Maxwell’s equations hold at a point. So there is no delay Similarly here.

Thanks for the positive response. However, the web page attempts to portray the Maxima/wxMaxima computer algebra software which is...

That is cool. If you want to do more in the future you might consider an Insights article or a series of them where everything can be...
