I found a load of eels on the riverbank this morning. They weren't moving so I wasn't sure if they were are alive or not. So I got out my stereo and pumped up some tunes. With that they all started wriggling around. As they saying goes, "the eels are alive with the sound of music".

I decided to start eating snails. I don't care much for fast food.

I see. So if you point out the rules don't say something then it's logic but if I do it then it's silliness? Glad we got that cleared up.

Why would it be cheating? The rules as listed don't say the car can't be moved during the game.

If you really want to go there you could also argue that the people running the show knew you got it right and took the chance to move the car behind the other curtain though while the host was making a big show of opening a different curtain, right?

I wouldn't call that an explanation.

Even if the host wasn't obliged to open another curtain the numbers stay the same. When you took your original guess you had a 2/3 chance of being wrong, and the absence of the car behind the curtain the host chose to open doesn't change that. Whether the host was required to open a curtain or...

That's how it looks at face value. Some years ago a friend with a PhD in mathematics explained why it's not that simple. I had to think about it to remember how it works, and it's something like this: If the game were to view three curtains, watch the host open a curtain to reveal no prize, and...

This is one of those probability questions where the addition of the new information doesn't seem to change things but actually does. I'd need to refresh my memory and run the numbers again to remember exactly how it works but it's something like you have a 50/50 chance of winning if you stick...

Usually sweet. Sometimes spicy. Sweet and spicy works remarkably well, a good dark chocolate loaded with bhut jolokia pepper is pretty amazing.

I guess you're not going to explain why you think the credit card company would care about an unsatisfactory transaction that the merchant already refunded in full.

By all means howl at the credit company if you think it will help. Personally if I was working customer services at the credit card company and someone who already received a full refund complained my first question would be just what they expected me to do. Once the problem is solved that's it...

Fries - exactly, you wouldn't know so no big deal. If the company provided a full refund I don't know the credit card company would care. If there was a problem with the purchase and the merchant refunded the purchase in full, what would you expect them to do?

Taking a couple of fries - no big deal. If there was a bite out of the food I'd expect a full refund. A lack of full refund would result in a formal complaint to the credit card company. Not that it's likely to happen - where I live is remote enough that nobody delivers here.
