Line 107:
:If you look at the Tcl solution, you'll see that the chance depends massively on the strategy being used. (I'm rather proud of the fact that I separated the player strategies so it was clearer what was going on.) Indeed, this whole game is great for sorting out the men from the boys when it comes to probabilistic analysis. If it makes you feel easier, think of it this way: would you rather choose one or two doors to start out with? Does the prize move around? —[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 08:07, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
::I, on the other hand, think that probability questions can easily have non-intuitive answers. I just have to take more care, and simulate where possible :-)   --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 15:56, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 
 
== Scheme Solution Problem? ==
I would have thought that with 1M trials, that the Scheme implementation would give a result closer to 1/3 and 2/3, instead of:
<pre>;; > (compare-strategies 1000000)
;; (stay-strategy won with probability 33.3638 %
;; and switch-strategy won with probability 51.8763 %)</pre>
Is their a problem? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 01:44, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
