Here's my attempt. It runs a simulated Monty 500 times. I get a "length" of 142 (length? mold load %doors.r), but I don't have the same text message as you and the "external" length could be shorter by one-lining it all and reducing the variables to W and N. The core calculation is just one line, but I'm using a different algorithm. rebol [] Win: 0 n: 0 loop 500 [ n: n + 1 win: win + last sort next random [0 0 1] ] Print ["Win%" win * 100 / n] In slow motion and with intermediate variables this is: Three doors: one has a 1 behind it (thats the car) the other two have a big zero. Doors: random [0 0 1] whichever door I pick is modelled by MyDoor: first Doors Monty then shows me a zero door: MontyDoor: mimimum Door/2 Door/3 I then select the other of Monty's doors: MySwappedDoor: Maximim Door/2 Door/3 which is the same as MySwappedDoor: last sort next Doors so if MySwappedDoor is a 1, I'm a winner!
