You have 3 doors (door A, door B, door C). Behind one of the doors there is a car. There is a goat behind the other two.

First trial:
You pick door A. The gamemaster opens door C disclosing a goat. According to Monty Hall’s theorem, you choose to open door B to improve your probabilities from 1/3 to 2/3 to get the car.

So, here we have door A with a probability of 1/3 and door B with probability of 2/3.

Second trial:
You pick door B. The gamemaster opens door C disclosing a goat. According to Monty Hall you now choose to open door A to improve your probability from 1/3 to 2/3 to get the car.

So, here we have door A with probability of 2/3 and door B with probability of 1/3.

So, the Player has influenced the probability of getting the car behind a given door simply by the sequence of his first picking a door.

Can you explain this paradox? Best answer will be awarded to the clearest and most convincing explanation.

Newton's first law-Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.

Newton's second law-The relationship between an object's mass m, its acceleration a, and the applied force F is F = ma. Acceleration and force are vectors (as indicated by their symbols being displayed in slant bold font); in this law the direction of the force vector is the same as the direction of the acceleration vector.

Newtons third law-For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

I was thinking about evolution recently, mostly about the theory on how man/woman evolved from the ape/gorilla etc. A question arose in the form of "if we evolved from said animals, then how are said animals still in existence?" It seemed a logical inference to me that If something evolves/metamorphs into something else, then it can no longer be what it was. Should this theory be taken as only a select strong and superior few evolved, while the weak and inferior majority stayed the same? Just curious if anyone knows anything about this theory. Thanks!

If something is required to seep into your head in order for the active ingredient to work, personally I would think twice before trying it. The FDA is not known for never making mistakes, now are they?

Remember, there is nothing on the walls in the room except for a frameless mirror, and all you have is night vision goggles. Think of what is needed to create a reflection in the mirror; light.
