Taking some online college courses and this semester is psychology. I came across this in some of the material posted. I found it really interesting. You may have seen it before. Math is not one of my strong points so this is fascinating to me, even after I understand it I think it is cool.

I dunno. I've always been skeptical of games of "chance" on the computer. The computer can make you lose every time.

As for the TV show, given the delay in opening the doors, I was never convinces that the items behind the doors were not placed there by people behind the scenes after the door selection was made.

Boy, I'm in quite the cynical mood this morning, aren't I?

I'm still having trouble getting my head around that. Doesn't seem to be logical.
