Monty Hall
Sunday, December 28, 2008
I watched 21 the other day, not a bad movie, but with too predicatable... or happy... an ending. Don't take me wrongly though, I
like happy endings. I couldn't be bothered with people who didn't like the way the Harry Potter series ended, with some calling for Harry to die. I do agree the ending there was a bit too... simple, but I don't see why people want Harry to die. Sadistic idiots.
Anyway, the Monty Hall problem showed itself in the movie, and I seriously felt the uncontrollable urge to recall the answer to the problem. If you don't remember, its the one where there is a goat and a car behind 2 of the three doors that a gameshow hosts present to you. The original place where it all began (the online part of some magazine publishing company) is
here, And I highly suggest you read it... It's all very interesting. I do dislike IQ tests, but once in a while, questions like these are simply so... interesting.
Going to run HL2 again to see what this card can do. Damn, I hope it works. Otherwise it's back to tediously installing new drivers and some physical removal. I forgot to mention I pierced my knee on some metal part and it got quite deep. Strange thing is, I didn't notice it until I saw blood on the floor. And boy,
is blood hard to clean up.
