That's awesome about Gordon. Interesting how he committed to his choice in the first interview and then reflected on it and changed his choice with a project for the second interview.
I remember that show but hadn't thought about it in years! I think my grandmother watched it but I'm not sure. That made me think! In a game, I'd probably stick with my first choice. In real life though, I'd stick with my first choice but if that didn't work out, I'd try something new or change the way I did things somehow. I wish that I always understood that sticking with one way of doing things will not always get good results.
I’m looking at 7 goats across the way in the field over yonder. I do not know what choice I would have made, because I would have never made it to the stage. It’s hard to fake excitement. I suck at it. That’s OK, I have 1 VW Bug, 1 truck, and 7 goats I do not have to feed.
The Wikipedia article does a good job of explaining it. The article is long only by modern standards where folks expect quick, sound-bite solutions. The fact that the problem is counter-intuitive and requires some thought to understand is why it is a very good interview question.
Tried to read and understand the Wikipedia article again, but failed again. Is there an easier to understand explanation? Am quite disappointed in myself. Guess I would have failed the interview too.
The key is understanding that Monty knows where the goats are and the revealed door always shows you a goat. Once that door is revealed, you have more information. I don't think I can explain it better than the Wikipedia article, you need to have your own "aha" experience.
I’m at 99%. It’s good to see you too! I’ll be posting a song that did not make the cut for my LP tomorrow, even though I still want to mess with it some more.
I had to take some additional time to rearrange my life , so to my artistic side was satisfied, and put the brakes on social media a bit. I want to start playing live again out in the real world…
Monty Hall was born and raised in my hometown (Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada).
The smartest people realize they’re not always right.
You’re making us think…….

Gordon definitely sounds like a keeper!

Great anecdote about the job candidate for the coding position!

And I don't think you can talk about Let's Make a Deal, without saying the Lovely Carol Merrill.
I do not understand the problem or the solution. Why is the Wikipedia article so long and involved, and why do so many smart people not understand it?

Well, this helps, https://youtube.com/shorts/dWnFk0ANWlk?si=k8OzCewHnOMyw0_Y. But it’s still just a probability. If the first choice is the winning choice, switching is a losing choice. It’s a gambling game.

What was the right answer dammit?

I still would have gone home with a goat…
lol!

Thanks for the shout!
Just so glad to see you too!

I like to think because we’re naturally intuitive thinkers. Also I stink at math.
