"Is it in your best interest to stay with the door you have, or to swap to the other door?"

Actually, re-reading your question ""Is it in your best interest" I would have to say it is in your best interest to swap.

But you wouldn't know that.

Not me. I would stay with the door I chose originally, rather than "gamble". :mrgreen:

Nope. The chances are relevant to the original 3 doors.
50% would be if there were only 2 doors to begin with.

Schrodingers car (or doors, if you will).

I think ... now you've gotten me confused. LOL
b = 15

ch = 5

a = 4

Hence .....

15 + 5 x 4 = 15 + (5×4)

= 15 + 20

= 35



now I am confused since when did 15 + 5 = 15......to me it comes to 20....20x4 = 80.

I have four wings, but cannot fly,
I never laugh and never cry;
On the same spot I'm always found,
toiling away with little sound.
What am I? :yahoo

When you consider the order of precidents (Roach posted them earlier)

15 + 5 x 4 = 15 + (5 x 4) = 15+ 20 = 35

Times (x) before addition (+)
