You go one the game show "Lets Make a Deal" and Monte Hall tells you that $100,000 is behind one of three doors and you are to chose one of three doors. You chose door #1. Monte Hall then reveals to you that behind door #2 that there is a pile of donkey dongs.Monte Hall then offers you the opportunity to change to door number #3. Assume that the decision to reveal a losing door has nothing to do with whether or not your original selection is correct. Should you
1.) Change to door #3
2.) Stick with door #1
3.) Ask if you can take the pile of donkey dongs and call it an evening.
