Lateral Thinking XI is also known as " The Monty Hall problem "
HINT!: Probability. So, ayw, you´ll love it.
Here it is:
You are on a game show. You are shown three closed doors. A prize is hidden behind one, and the game show host knows where it is. You are asked to select a door. You do. Before you open it, the host opens one of the other doors, showing that it is empty, then asks you if you'd like to change your guess. Should you, should you not, or doesn't it matter?
