You are a contestant on a game show, where you have to choose 1 of 3 doors. Behind 1 door is the prize. Behind the other 2 doors are worthless booby prizes. After you make your selection, the MC opens 1 of the 2 unselected doors to show you the location of 1 of the booby prizes. He then gives you the option to change your selection to the other unopened unselected door. Should you switch your choice?

Please refrain from posting your reason for your choice for now. I want everyone to vote their choice without being influenced.

It involves a binary solution set: we cannot know if Nikki is married; there are only 2 possibilities:

1. She is married
2. She is not married.

Case 1: Brad (married) looking at Nikki (married) does not satisfy the question. Nikki (married) looking at Mike (not married) satisfies the problem.

Case 2: Brad (married) looking at Nikki (not married) satisfies the question.

Hence Nikki's marital status is irrelevant; problem is satisfied either way.

I gave it a few days for others to chime in but nobody did so I figured I could post.

You still have to post the explanation (without filial help)!!!
