Re: Odd Escape
change to door #3.
when you chose door number 1 initially, you were chosing from out of three doors, and therefore had a 33% chance of getting the right one. with one of the wrong doors now eliminated, there are only 2 remaining. you are, however, still unaware as to wether or not your door leads to escape. if you stay with your door, you stick with the 33% chance you had originally. however, if you switch to door #3, you will have picked from 2, and your chances are now 50%.
i know it doesn't at first make sense, but I think that its right.
