Whenever I see the three doors in a row on W.M. Whyte's 1885 tenements on Queen's Drive in Glasgow, I'm always reminded of the Monty Hall Problem. This problem shows how poor the intuitive human understanding of probabilities actually is.

In less time than it took to watch this video (at 2x speed) I had Claude write and run a simulation of it, giving more accurate results at 1k, 10k and 100k trials.

Last night I was hit by a sudden burst of genius and I think I understood the #MontyHallProblem. Like, all of a sudden, I understood it. I felt very proud of myself.
The Monty Hall problem:
Famous probability puzzle inspired by 'Let's Make a Deal'

I've mentioned before how much I admire @anilananth.bsky.social book, #WhyMachinesLearn. Eg. He nicely explains the probability of the #MontyHallProblem (to win a car behind 1 of 3 doors!). Try this online version. See how the probabilities play out: claude.site/artifacts/8b...
I'm not sure the Tory MPs have understood the essence of the #MontyHallProblem The aim is to win a 🚘 not a 🐐.
