It's not in the same vein, but my favorite puzzle is the Monty Hall Problem. Although as is relentlessly pointed out, it's not actually how "Let's Make A Deal" works. Monty Hall shows you three doors, two have goats behind them, one has a brand new car. While still closed, you pick a door. After you've picked, Monty opens one of the other two doors to show you a goat, and asks if you want to stay with your choice, or choose the other remaining door. What do you do? Stay? Switch? Or it doesn't matter? For background and spoiler, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem Edit: Spelling
