Official RNF Test of Intelligence

Thread would be funnier if instead of three bags she had three holes.

I can't be here all the time to tell you how to post.

[Classic]

Those bags remind me of large loose squirrel testicles.

I would take the one of the left.

[Ahldagor]

kill tunare and open all the bags

I wrote a program after reading a lot of mathematicians were only convinced after seeing computer simulations. In 9000 trials, switching makes you win ~6000 (2/3), not switching only ~3000 (1/3)

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#define MONTY_TRIALS 9000

bool monty_hall_problem(bool switch_doors)
{
    bool doors[3] = { false, false, false };
    doors[rand()%3] = true;

    unsigned int choice = rand() % 3;
    return (switch_doors) ? !doors[choice] : doors[choice];
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    int switch_wins = 0, no_switch_wins = 0;

    for (int i = 0; i < MONTY_TRIALS; ++i)
    {
        if (monty_hall_problem(true)) ++switch_wins;
        if (monty_hall_problem(false)) ++no_switch_wins;
    }

    printf("Switch: %d\tNo Switch: %d", switch_wins, no_switch_wins);

    return 0;
}

I forgot to seed rand there but then I did and the same shit happens anyway DUh

Monty Hall question.

Variable change. Always take the switch. You get an additional 17% equity.
