Description
Welcome to the Price Is Right country style. Behind one door is a beautifully restored classic car, a Shelby Cobra worth millions; behind the others, goats. You pick door No. 1 and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens No. 2, which has a goat. He then says to you, "Do you want to stay with door No. 1, or switch to door No. 3?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?

I will join you at the blackjack table, but will let your goat tug on your pant leg when you should take a hit. :)

I still don't get it! Next time I go play blackjack, you are going with me and can tap me on my leg if I should take a card or stay. I need some of your brain logic muscle, Steve! :) OK, I take door #3 now!! Haha! I like goats anyway! I bet they would not give me that goat, too, by the way...betcha! :) kk

Here is why you should definitely switch doors. When you picked door N0. 1, you obviously have 1 in 3 odds of getting the car. After seeing the goat behind door No. 2, most people stay with their first choice, reasoning that they would hate to second guess themselves out of winning the car. But imagine this: What if the host, without opening a door, offered you the opportunity to switch from only door No. 1 to both doors No. 2 & 3. You would change, right! After all, your odds would improve to 2 in 3. Well that is exactly the odds you would have after seeing the goat behind door No.2! Granted, you will be most disappointed if a goat appears in door No. 3, but at least you were logical and went with the odds. And you would have further confirmation of a great truth: Life Is a Bitch. :)

Ah, the lady has finally made a decision! :) Since I don't know the answer, I don't know what you won. However, I can tell you the odds are you have a new goat in your life. In a little while I will explain why you should switch to door No. 3 for better odds of winning the car.
Steve Harrington
Nice try, kk, but read the question carefully. The host already showed you a goat behind door No. 2. You chose door No. 1. Do you want to stay with door No. 1, or switch to door No. 3? I am assuming you prefer a car to a goat. :)

My dictating never comes out right – correction – I pick that little red topped door in the middle. And if my stupid iPhone changes my writing again after I hit comment, I’m going to scream.
Kathleen K Parker
Ok, Steve, I pick that little drawer in the middle. It has red paint on the top of it. I guess that is number two. I really do believe that there is a pile of gold behind that little door. So that is my choice. Maybe people think your question is rhetorical. I understand now that it was not, so that’s my answer and let me know if I win. Thanks! KK
Steve Harrington
Thank you, kk! My question is serious. There is a better choice. So which door do you want? And why?
Kathleen K Parker
Gotta love this barn and haha as always you also show your great humor and ability to write creatively! Love it all! :) KK
