This and similar math puzzles are trivial to prove compared to the math problems like the one discussed in the article. It is only that they are counter intuitive that makes it hard for people to believe them. If you change the three door to hundred door problem and have the host open 98 doors, it is rather obvious that you should switch to the one door he has not opened besides the door that you did choose at the start.
- nl 7y agoI have no dispute with that. I'm saying that since the OP appears to believe that a simulation proves it (which of course it doesn't), there's a decent chance other parts of the story also are incorrect. Because yes, this puzzle is quite well known for confounding intuition. Presumably a math teacher knows that when they introduced the question.
