Noooo It is not the fact that a goat is behind the door. It is the fact that a goat door would always have been opened! These two facts are not the same!

- bemusedthrow75 3y agoI'm sorry what now? Stop second guessing the puzzle which is clearly stated. I'm so, so done with this now that I am actually going to render inoperable my only HN account so I cannot possibly come back to this, or any other thread.
- jncfhnb 3y agoIt is NOT STATED in THIS VERSION OF THE PROMPT that monte will always open a door and that it will always be a goat door. It is simply stated that on one play of the game, Monte CHOSE to open a door and it was a goat. If this is truly all you know, you have learned nothing. It is only useful information if monte explicitly opens a goat door for you. If he opens a door at random and gets goat your information gain goes away even if it’s the same door! I’ve literally mapped it out for you else where. There’s only 4 outcomes. You can check yourself. 2:2
