Comment on Jigsaw Trolley Problem
woodenghost@hexbear.net 1 day agoYes and because C3 is a golden ball, you should confidently switch to the second door. Because now it’s just the Monty Hall problem with balls instead of goats. When the madman chose a door to opened, he deliberately chose a bad (mixed) door, otherwise he would have given away the correct location. The fact, that he opened the third instead of the second gives you new information, that you can take advantage of by switching, increasing your chances. Had the ball been silver, it might have been revealed to come from a bad door.

I have no idea what the ball thing is about. I just assumed that since he was a madman, he was just doing madman things.
