TMHPS - The Monty Hall Problem Solution

Last Friday, I posed the Monty Hall Problem. For those of you who didn't jump online to check the answer, here is the solution.

Switching to the other door gives you a better chance of winning the car.

Although anti-intuitive, the mathematical solution is detailed very well in wikipedia. Even if you don't believe the math, at the bottom of the article are a load of links to simulations of this game so you can try it out for yourself.

If that doesn't convince you, please let me know as I would like to invite you to a game of cards...
