Good idea, but it's not intuitive why the original problem is equivalent to the host revealing N-2 (98) goats rather than, say, (N-2)/2 (49) or 1.

- abiogenesis 7y agoInteresting. I was explained this question the exact same way (100 doors) some years ago and it was instantly intuitive to me. Maybe it's how every brain works differently.
- l0b0 7y agoI understand that it makes sense intuitively, but how do you justify it to yourself mathematically? As far as I can tell there is nothing in the original formulation that explains why it would scale that way.
