No, that is indeed supposed to be true. My claim was that switching results in a win 2/3 of the time and staying with the original door results in a win 1/3 of the time. Instead, my results were 64% and 32% respectively (sorry, I was off by 2.7% and 1.3%). Of course, with a "random" strategy (switching half the time and keeping your choice half the time), you should win (1/3)*(1/2) + (2/3)*(1/2) = 1/2 of the time. ~ Bob ------------------------ Yahoo!
