Today’s Problem:
Imagine if you will that you have been selected to be a guest on a game show that offers the chance to win a vacation on a Parkinsons Recovery Cruise. The prize sits behind one of the three doors: Monkeys (not real ones of course) reside behind the other two doors.
You choose a door after much consternation. The host then opens one of the remaining two doors, revealing a monkey. The host then offers you a choice:
Stick with your initial choice or switch to the other door – still unopened of course.
What do you choose here? Stick with the door you initially chose or take the host up on the offer to peek inside the other door? The choice is important after all, since you will get to join others on a Parkinsons Recovery Cruise for free.
