The Monty Hall problem is a probability puzzle based on the American television game show Let’s Make a Deal. The name comes from the show’s host, Monty Hall. The problem is also called the Monty Hall paradox, as it is a veridical paradox in that the result appears absurd but is demonstrably true. (via @sks06c)
“…However, if the show host has not randomized the position of the prize in a fully quantum mechanical way, the player can do even better, and can sometimes even win the prize with certainty.”
It is will known that game show hosts frequently fail to do things in fully quantum mechanical ways.
