Sparkle Motion!
 

find x
 

i doubt yr commitment to sparkle motion.
 

i just saw the hangman on the line. good stuff.
 

spectacular
 

and yes. sparkle motion. (I'm just trying to play along).
 

and again i say (bringing back a classic) you couldnt find yr asimtote from a hole in the graph.
 

math humor.
 

There's nothing quite like it.
 

I love the math jokes. Some I even understand. Others make my head hurt.
 

I just hope you got your weeks worth of dinners.
 

and not realy a math joke, more of just a school joke, why is it always Murphys law and never Ockams razor. my boss is out today and everything is breaking down.
 

stupid murphy.
 

here's a little math brain teaser I came across recently

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, 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?
 

what are your odds of picking the right door the second time?
 

one in two. now, i know that is not correct, or else this would not be a trick question. i will ponder and get back.
 

wait, you say 1, he opens 3 and asks to open 2. the car is obviously behiond 1 which he will not open.
 

you got goats, buddy.
 

you should switch because you have a 1/3 chance of getting it the 1st time, and a 2/3 chance if you switch.
 

yes, it is the truth
 

GO BACK TO SCHOOL!!!!!! school time is not for answering questions!
 

so says Marilyn von Savant
 

The Monty Hall Problem is classic.

most would say the your chance of choosing correctly the second time is 1 in 2, but if you break it down, your chance of choosing correctly is actually 2 in 3, so your odds are better if you switch.
 

I've lost x again.
 

Can someone help me find it?
 

I still think that no matter what the odds are, your still getting the goat. I've never trusted Monty Hall.
 

Arrgh Matey, X marks the spot where the treasure is and you will never find it.

Arrgh
 

now many have argued that the odds the second time are still only 1 in 2, no matter what happened the first time you chose, because it is now a new problem with only two doors.

I'm not sure that I care which is the correct answer, but I did find it an interesting question
 

I believe that if we apply Occam's Razor, it would have to be the 1 in 2 answer, the whole easiest answer is the correct answer thing
 

3 doors, one is open, chances are 1 in 2.
 

i would just take the goat. hell, i could use one.
 

the true Monty Hall Problem is did you have better odds of getting chosen to participate if you dressed as little bo beep or as little red riding hood?
 

hmmmmm... the question of the ages.
