The Monty Hall Maths Problem

Sorry, guys, there has not been much to add in this difficult week. However, I’d like to share with you a really interesting mathematical probability problem brought to my attention by Caleb in my Year 12 Chemistry class. Click here to watch. Watch it a couple of times, please - it’s quite hard to get your head around.

Year 9 students might like to try to prove/disprove this problem for Science Fair. Try using shoe boxes instead of doors, and no goats please…

Thanks, Caleb, we all had a really interesting experience, though I know a number of us are still contemplating this.
