Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three
doors: Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door,
say No. 1 [but the door is not opened], and the host, who knows what's
behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then
says to you, "Do you want to pick door No. 2?" Is it to your advantage
to switch your choice?
