"Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three
doors: Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a
door, say No. 1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens
another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, "Do you
want to pick door No. 2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?"
The above is a famous problem. I've left out the attribution to give you
a few minutes (or forever, if you want) to enjoy it.

discussion in another group that I frequent.
