When I was but a wee...teenager...I was introduced to the monty-hall problem.

It seemed so counter-intuitive, I can't say I wrote code to simulate it.

No.

Instead, I remember I got my dad and I said: "all right, here's what we're going to do. We're going to actually do this thing 100 times, and we're going to document the results on paper. Then I'm going to count up the results, cause this is bullshit!"

Young mind was blown :P



This is a great story of intellectual curiosity and tenacity. Thank you for taking the time to share it!
