That thing about the 3 doors/curtains? Interesting trick there. Statistically, it's better to switch than to stay with your original choice. It's like Schrodinger's Cat. . .
Say you pick door #1. There is a 1/3 chance the prize is there, and a 2/3 chance that it's behind #2 and #3. Door #3 is revealed to be empty, and the probability waveform collapses into a 2/3 chance that the prize is behind door #2.
it makes more sense if you don't think to hard about it.
