8/30    I thought this was kinda interesting. Monty Hall Problem, a classic:
        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem
        \- one of the first profs to write on this is from ucb pub health
           the newcomb paradox [from livermore] is even crazier.
        \_ This is now a classic problem in cs70.  I totally didn't believe it
           for a while, but I think understanding why you always want to
           switch doors gives a lot of insight to probability theory. -mrauser
        \_ What about the monty python problem?
