I like watching Deal or No Deal, because I love watching dumb people make bad decisions.

How are any of their decisions they make bad?
I thought it was completely random

fram is constantly crunching numbers to figure out the probability of each case's contents, and whether or not the deal being offered is a sane one.

see you think you're joking

PotU

I always wondered: Will you get a better offer when there's only the smallest and highest amount are left or when the two highest amounts are left?

Jordyn

you're asking if you'd get a better offer if you have a million dollars and a penny versus a million dollars and $750,000?


really?

Jordyn

You get offered Howie's pants, PotU.

PotU

It's all about psychology.

Gotta break their minds to break their bodies.

Jordyn

What is the Monty Hall problem, Fram?

Spoiler:

and don't just link to wikipedia, I'm curious to here it explained by you

Three doors. One's got a car, two have donkeys. (Let's just take it as assumed you want the car. Maybe you're allergic to donkeys.) You pick a door, Monty says "But wait!" and opens one of the other doors, revealing a donkey. He gives you the opportunity to switch, do you?

Spoiler:

If you're smart, you do. It works out to your odds of winning the car being 2/3 if you switch, 1/3 if you don't. It's conterintuitive, but it's true.

I never got that. I'm sure this is going to go the same way as when I thought the plane didn't take off from the conveyor belt, but anyway: it starts at 1/3 chance of the car being in any one door, but then he opens a donkey door. Doesn't it become 50/50 now? I don't get how the probability for the other door is any different to the door you already had chosen.

Holy shit.

Guys, apple juice mixed with Diet Mountain Dew actually tastes pretty good.

I call bullshit
Though you were right about Trix being round and awesome again
Though you're still wrong about the existance of a Creator
I'm so conflicted

Framling

Look man, it was bound to happen sometime that I'd stumble across a drink combination that actually tastes good.

I'm just glad I found it before I started hitting up the V8.

Framling

Wait, how can I be wrong about the existance of a creator if my answer is "I don't know?" Because I actually don't know.

On the Australian DoND (which is on five times a week with a top prize of $200,000) we always get these idiot contestants who take stupid risks and, I swear to god at least twice a week, justify it by saying "WELL I CAME HERE WITH NOTHING", the implication being that any risk is OK since they're not actually laying down any of their own money to play.

Wrong, bitch. You came here with a semblance of dignity and self-respect, but they won't be waiting for you in the cloak room when you walk out with that gigantic cheque for $4.
