No. If the computer takes longer to ask you if you want to switch after you chose correctly this could be perceived, consciously or unconsciously, and affect your choice. > So far, the latest arguments have all been that humans are able to > influence things that are random and have an ability to get the 'right' > answer when they don't know any information regarding the answer at > all. Can you produce an honest refutation of the Rhine experiments? You seem to guarantee that everyone will be wrong 2/3rds of the time. There is no guarantee. > However, can you agree that a computer playing the game will win > 2/3 of the time if the computer switches the door every time? I think it's possible. Are you using the same "random number" generator for both sides of the game? They could accidently line up and the computer contestent could choose correctly 100% of the time, and switching 100% of the time it would lose 100% of the time. I'm curious, what percentage of the time will the game be won if the computer contestant switches it's choice 2/3s of the time?
