I just watched Pat Sajak's last WoF episode this week (happened June 7), the end of an era.

Jeopardy has to be one of the highest quality game shows. Most gameshows these days are 90% fluff and like 5 multiple choice "trivia" questions.

I agree with your top 3

The Monty Hall problem is a classic. I finally understood the solution 10 years ago

This is my mission. Helping people understand the Monty Hall problem lol

3 doors 🚪, one prize 🏆

I pick door 🚪 2 which has p = 1/3 where p is probability

That means my chance of getting nothing is 2/3

The combined probability of the two doors 🚪 I didn’t select is 2/3

Now Monty Hall opens door 🚪 3 which has no prize ; this means p = 0 for door 🚪 3

That means door 🚪 1 has p = 2/3

The combined probability of door 1 and door 3 is always 2/3 Since p for door 🚪 3 is 0 then p for door 🚪 1 is 2/3

Monty Hall asks me do I want to stay or choose door 🚪 1

I tell Monty Hall I want to switch , give me door 🚪 1

I double my probability by switching

Monty did us a favor by showing us one empty door

Hope this is clear. It’s easier to explain with pen 🖊️ and paper 📝

I get the concept but I am struck on the idea that odds go from 2/3 to 1/2 once you eliminate a door.

Let me start over and be more concise

Imagine there are 100 doors You pick 1 door Probability is 1 percent

Monty opens 98 doors with goats

There is a 99 percent chance it’s not the door you selected

20 sats \ 5 replies \ @Bell_curve 1 Jul

The combined probability of two doors is always 2/3

We start with 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 1

We eliminate a door 1/3 + 0 + 2/3 = 1

The key is your initial selection probability never changes

Yes but then the combined probability of my door and the one already opened is also 2/3 so if my door plus opened and the door I didn’t pick plus the opened one both are 2/3 why is it beneficial to switch?

50 sats \ 0 replies \ @Bell_curve 2 Jul

The combined probability of your door and the door already open is 1/3 + 0

The probability of the open door is 0

If you switch p is 2/3

If you stay p is 1/3

I'm a huge fan of 'who wants to be a millionaire' India version. The actor who host here is Amitabh Bacchhan He's such a great voice that the show itself became a success.

I really liked "Deal or No Deal" like 15 years ago...

Although at my age now I would get pretty bored of it. It essentially is just gambling lol.
