Yes, thinking it through I can see it now.
By picking a door you have a 1 in 3 chance of the car meaning that behind the other 2 dors there is a 2 in 3 chance, but then the host takes away one of those doors meaning switching will always give you a 2 in 3 of winning the car whereas sticking is only 1 in 3. Brain melt

No. The odds you are assuming there are true for a static system, but the host adds information to the system by knowingly revealing a wrong asnswer. This changes the way the odds work. Imagine 100 billion doors to see this effect. Pick 1 door. The host removes all other wrong doors apart from 1. Now do you stick or switch?

Er, not sure what your 'no' at the start of that is relating to as my explanation is correct and not sure why you then go on to say the host changes the odds as that is exactly what I said

Should have been 14, I knew 2 under was an Eagle, but clicked on Birdy anyway
At least two of the questions I didn't even understand, and definitely got lucky on one

Anyone not annoyed about the Psycho question? Have you read the answer?
Read the third dot gives you all the vowels.........so somehow from that you are supposed to know that "y" was once a vowel or something?
Total rubbish if you ask me
