Right. I don't watch Mythbusters, so I'd be interested in how they went about it. In any case, it's a simple proof.

Proof:
Since there's one car and three doors, the odd are 2/3 that you are going to choose an empty door. Regardless of whether you were initially right or wrong, the host always has an empty door they can show after you choose. Therefore, choosing to switch is equivalent to originally selecting the two doors you didn't choose together instead of the one. So you odds at winning the car double from 1/3 to 2/3.


This problem generalizes to the case of having x number of doors and being shown empty doors until only the one you chose and one more remain. Switching then increases your odds from 1/x to (x-1)/x.

That's one of my all-time favorites. totally unrelated to the discussion, but I think it'd be damned cool if you started a thread where you and others pose the best math/word problems that they know for others to answer. That'd be fun.

What has the Tea Party done that's racist? What platform do they promote that's racist? Don't say there were people at their rallies with racist tee shirts on. That's not proof. I haven't followed the Tea Party that much, but they seemed pretty harmless as compared to the 99%'s.
Don't throw stones when you live in a glass house. The 99%'s are anarchists, but they want govt assistance. They make no sense.
 
How many mansions does Romney have?

Will he conveniently forget the number of estates to save face, like McCain did?

Um...the US has 50 states and roughly 7 territories depending how you group them. Of which most of those territories help determine the presidential nominations for each party.

I don't think Obama was trying to say he campaigned in 50 states and 7 territories... he obviously f*d up and meant to say 47.

Most likely. I just find it funny that people who bash Obama on that comment fail to understand the non-state areas the US has and how they play a role in the Presidential Candidate Nomination process. Romney picked up a sizable amount of votes from these territories.
 
Both candidates will falter under tough questioning like, "If you went to the store and bought cereal, bread, and milk how much would it cost?"

Thats why the same govmnt lackeys always moderate.

I would too. Because I would ask, "where, what brand, what store?"
 
So are all you leftys gonna vote for Obama, even though we all know that he is deliberately delaying wars with Syria and Iran until after the election?

You know those wars will commence as soon as he's re-elected, yes?

Did they commence with your ultimate bad-boy Bush after his reelection?

No, they commenced after his first election. I consider both Obama and Bush to be war-mongers and a threat to our freedom. Kane has a valid point. Do you disagree that he will become more militarily aggressive after his reelection?

Yes. For the simple reason that the GOP will refuse to pay for any of it. He may want to, but the formerly "bomb anyone" GOP has turned into the "if Obama wants anything (even things we want), say no!" crowd.

starting foreign wars is bad enough but Obumble seems intent on starting an internal class war

Well, I guess I'm all for both idiotic parties bickering so hard that they're too incompetent to start another war for us. Sometimes your government's own incompetence can be an asset.
 
You won't see a dramatic reversal, but you will see retrenchment and adaptation. The previous administration thought it needed to approach the problem of terrorism in a new and bold way, and came away with some success and a lot of back-steps. Toward the half-way point of the second term, the previous administration switched up its policy on numerous fronts diplomatically and used the surge in Iraq as a means to allow for a more satisfactory exit.
