You may remember the TV game show where the contestant chooses 1 of 3 doors to try for a prize. The host then opens one of the remaining doors with junk behind it and asks if the contestant wishes to stick with the original choice or switch. Try to discover the winning strategy. A group discussion of the probabilities involved can lead to spirited disagreements.
