what you said is from a RETROSPECTIVE kind of view, set the time line and realize pre test is prospective and post test retrospective. As a player you have no point from which you can get a retrospective! the mistake is there! you circle time by crossing perspectives with no common point, in a sense... player can't tell between A or B!

brain rotemanacer i said no 1/4... pick car and switch to goat A, loose, pick car and switch to B, loose. Pick and switch , win, pick B and switch, win. this is considering he can only show goat A OR B. so is 50/50.All those calculations were the showman's view point, that you don't know, that's why you are asked to calculate in the first place. If you're asked to pick a goat i say it's 2/3..yet still 1/2 if you´re showned one. picking the other goat or the car must add up, otherwise???

Actually the host showing either door equates to 1/6 each, not 1/4. So you add them up for a total of 1/3.

well 66.6% of 2 doors is something like 1.33 /2...can we be stupid enough to consider choose the revealed goat or perhaps you need a car so much you lost your mind!and should he ask you to reconsider your reconsideration, then what????hehehe

hei brainromenacer. Good thinking to name the goat BUT you didnt work well enough on one branch, YOU MISSED to branch the too option when you pck the car, the host can show you goat A or goat B, eitheir way you loose, so really 50/50, which makes sense since is a 1/2... !!!OBVIOUS SINCE THE START

it's all wrong, it's a dependant chain of events live taking a ball from a bag with 3 and not replacing it, and it's statisticly irrelevant if you "choose" before or after door 1 opens. "event" that matters is doors revealed.those were the mistakes of this dogma.so, following a time line we branch the chain of events, door1 opens, then door 2 opens.1STCASE. Door 1 goat (2/3) x door 2 is 50/50 (goat or car )= 1/3 each , congruent!2STCASE Door 1 car (game over) x door 2 1/1 goat=the other 1/3
