A Thought Puzzle

Unread post by Cruisin with Tooz »

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.

Long discussed question here on the intertubes.
"Math" says change your pick.
Common sense says?

While we are waiting for the poll to close, riddle me this, Batman: "angry" and "hungry" are 2 words that end in "gry". There are exactly 3 words in the English language. What is the 3rd word?

If you read that literally, the phrase “the English language” contains three words:

So the third word is:

➡️ language
