Aelia 08/29/17 2:55:26 PM #21:	If you switch your choice, you would need to choose incorrectly at first in order to end up with the correct door. Since there's 2 wrong answers and one correct one initially, 66% chance to choose correctly. If you don't switch your choice you need to guess right initially. 33% --- En Taro Tassadar FFBE FC: 970.089.321 \| 1017 Orlandeau <cite>Aelia posted [p:885665577] in The math p...

luigi13579 08/29/17 3:13:46 PM #22:	The butthurt in the comments is hilarious. Those comments are bad even by YT standards. It's clear the "thousands of mansplainers" is referring to the sexist respondents to the magazine column. It's a bit of a stupid term, but it's kinda justified in this situation. They say gender is nothing to do with it, but clearly that wasn't the case for the respondents. <cite>luigi13579 posted [p:885666496] in The math p...
