    Oh god this one too.

    Hmmm, now I have a computer that can probably load its levels in less than 10 minutes, I should go back and play through Mankind Divided at last.

    ...and of course, as always, Kill Hitler.

    Apparently it's been argued about for nearly a decade and ALSO apparently there is no convention associated with it, which is... displeasing.

    So I officially retract my statements and instead resolve to never accept anything except sufficiently unambiguous use of parentheses.

    Now the mythbusters explanation of it makes sense. but every other way doesnt
    theres was there's a 2/3 chance you pick the goat door at the beginning
    and nothing after the fact changes that so all the other shit is just there to confuse you
    when you pick a door (switching) with only 2 doors remaining its 50/50
    but if you keep the same door that choice was made when there was a 2/3 chance you'd draw a goat
    so that choice only had a 1/3 chance of success


    but also the entire thing is stupid why the fuck did anyone mention it now i have to set myself on fire

    Bless your heart.

    I don't understand how you don't understand it

    Let's keep on increasing the doors

    You have an infinite number of doors, each with a goat behind it

    But then another goat turns up

    Where do you put it?

    If you picked the correct door, you don't want to switch
    If you picked wrong door A, you want to switch
    If you picked wrong door B, you want to switch

    So it's a 2/3 that you want to switch

    What the Monty Hall guy didn't know was that I got the answer wrong on purpose to get two goats.

    A few years of farming later, I now have a car, and well over a thousand very inbred goats.

    The Monty Hall guy opens the 98 doors with goats behind them, releasing the understandably agitated ungulates upon the unsuspecting audience.

    Monty Hall becomes more intuitive if you do this version:

    There are 100 doors, with one prize and 99 chainsaw murderhobos. Pick a door.

    OK, you picked door X. Now, let me open 98 of the other doors, to reveal 98 chainsaw murderhobos!

    Would you like to switch to the last unknown door?

    Does still feel bad when you switch and it's like

    "Actually, this was the 1% of timelines where you picked correctly at the outset! Sorry, little Jimmy. Try not to splatter too much on set."

    This is spoilers for [MYSTERY PUZZLE GAME TRILOGY] fyi

    The trailer gives you everything you need.

    Excellent soundtrack though.
