Ok, it's a trick question. (1.09469906 x 10^32) x 2 would also have been acceptable.

I would like a crack at this question, but before I do, I needto ask a few things about the question. First of all, you say that you can ask each one just one question, but you're only allowed two questions. Surely then you can't ask each one a single question, because that would be braking the rule of only asking two questions. Unless the third question is which gate leads to heaven...Quote:

I still never understood this problem, why wouldnt the probability be the same if you chose to keep the same door, because the probability should change just based on the fact that the other door was open, so wouldnt choosing to stay with the same door have the same effect as choosing to change doors.
I also have another maths question:
Using just the four simple mathematical expressions (+, -, x, /),and using each of the following numbers once, make the number 24 using just the numbers 3, 3, 8 and 8.
Darwin my mom won't beleive me when I try and prove the whole Monty Hall thing. Also here is a fun one, using only beginner algebra prove that 1=2
I spent way too long trying to figure that out.Quote:
