after snaking over 1/4 of a mil of you,
I can afford leaving you the last $100
;-))))
as soon as 1 goat door is open, your probability of having picked the right door originally become 1/2, if you pick again, they stay 1/2... (wow, imagine that, probabilities do change)
if the question was: Are the probability better at the time of the second pick than when you made your first pick, than yes, sure....
but a logic problem being tricky only because of how the question is asked isnt much fun... especially when its a russian asking

Ok, there are two goats. One is heading south down I-66 at 140 miles per hour with a 20 mile an hour head wind. Another goat is going north along I-228 at 162 miles an hour with a 41 mile an hour tail wind. Which goat is wearing the beret?

This is a famous problem. The answer is so annoyingly counterintuitive that mathematicians were writing Marilyn Savant to tell her she had the answer wrong in her column (she had it right). It also took Paul Erdos, one of the best mathematicians of the 20th century a little while before he agreed with the solution after he gave the wrong answer.

Heres one for you that my daughter and I played with the other night:
Scenario: Pitch black night. 4 men are traveling with one lantern amongst them. They come to a bridge across a very deep ravine. The bridge is only wide enough and strong enough to support 2 of the men at a time. There is no railing or side on the bridge so because of the darkness you cannot go over the bridge without the lantern and furthermore no man dares to go across the bridge without being in actual contact with the lantern.
Man 1 can cross the bridge in 5 minutes
Man 2 can cross the bridge in 10 minutes
Man 3 can cross the bridge in 20 minutes
Man 4 can cross the bridge in 25 minutes
What is the least amount of time that it can take for all 4 men to cross the bridge ?

30 minutes.
You dont say whether they all have to get onto the other side or just 'cross' the bridge

The least amount of time for all 4 men to get across the bridge would be 1 hour and 5 minutes...
Man 1 goes across with Man 2 - 10 mins
Man 1 goes back with the lantern - 5 mins
Man 1 and Man 3 go across - 20 mins
Man 1 goes back - 5 mins
Man 1 and Man 4 go across - 25 mins

British Army clearly has high standards...I got 30/80, had no battery power and the diabetic chick was in a coma...but I have all the attributes to make it as an officer.
""78 out of 80.
We fixed the plane .
The pilot won a Olympic Medal in Cycling
The chick with diabetes is alive and married to an Insurance Salesman in Des Moines.She is into the BDSM scene.
Haliburton built a Casino in the Desert
And the nomads , now known as "San de Nigga and the Infidels" , had a platinum album called "Nuke it!"
