- kemotep 6y agoNo the variation with 1000 doors is that you open 1 door, Monty opens 998 doors and asks if you want to switch.
- AmericanChopper 6y agoYeah, the use of 3 doors, and the bit where one is opened just kinda hides what’s happening. Which is that you’re actually choosing between one random door, or ALL the other doors.
- scubbo 6y agoThe Eureka moment for me was similar, but slightly different. Consider a variant game with N doors. You pick a door, then Monty offers you two switch your payout to "the best single result from the remaining N-1 doors". Clearly, you would swap. Now set N to 3, and consider that, by opening a door without the prize, that's exactly what Monty's offering you.
