You understand what I'm saying. So, Ibix, the conclusion is that the rule is what matters, not whether Monty does it randomly or not...

I have a problem with coming up with something at hand, I learned most of these things from different papers and from people I worked...

Or a simulation. :)

So the door equivalent of a non-Newtonian fluid... :smile:

Have you done the math? Math is your friend in this. The conditional probabilities are completely different in the two situations. See...

It is important because it changes the conditional probabilities. As a matter of notation, let’s call the door that the contestant...

Yes, it does make a difference. There is a difference between an accidental result of rare luck versus the intentional act of avoiding...

Yes. Restarting the game is the same as making a rule that he can not open the door with the prize. Any time he violates that rule, the...

Really? So knowing that he may have intentionally avoided that one door doesn't clue you in and change the odds? What if it started...

It is relevant because it changes the conditional probabilities and the amount of information received. There is still some information...

This is the point that is often missed. Suppose Monte Hall just blindly opened one of the remaining two doors and it happened to have a...

That argument fits the Monty Hall game, as generally understood. But, there are alternative ways to play where that argument fails...

A nice thing about geometric algebra is that there is no such thing as "the right hand rule." The sign comes about naturally. An...

100 kg of potatoes consists of 99% water. After some water evaporates, the potatoes consist of 98% water. What is the new weight of the...

I don't think their criticisms address what appealed to me about geometric algebra. I liked that it started with a basic geometrical...
