Play the Monty Hall Problem simulation! You’re on a game show and there are three doors in front of you. The host says, “Behind one door is a brand new car. Behind the other two doors are goats. Pick a door!” You choose door number 1. Now it gets interesting. Your host, Monty Hall, who knows where the car is, opens door number 2 and reveals a goat. Monty says, “If you want, you can switch to door number 3.” What should you do? Stay with your original choice or switch to door number 3? Make Monty Hall proud!
