If there are three doors...

And you pick one, and there is nothing there... And then given the option to switch, will you?

Re: If there are three doors...

I have a riddle!

I see birth and I see death, but I never see a life all the way through.

Obviously you make life and take life.... But you don't watch in between...

Re: If there are three doors...

Then yes, of course there is a better chance to switch because before you knew that it had nothing behind it it was a 1/3 chance but now it's a 1/2 chance.

It's not the Grim Reaper. Would he look at someone giving birth? And it's not me.

Re: If there are three doors...

Here's an easy one:
The person who makes me doesn't need me,
The person who buys me doesn't want me,
And the person who needs me doesn't know it.
What am I?

It may be easy, but it's still one of my favourites  smile

Discuss riddles.

Naturally!

If you mean, I pick one, they open one with nothing so basically it looks like this:
DOOR (Chosen)
DOOR (Nothing)
DOOR (Switch to?)

Then switching will give a 2/3rds chance to get the prize.


I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

The answer seems pretty obvious: Yes, but since its a riddle, I'll say no  tongue
