mοnty hall as a meme.

earlier tonight my brother-in-law asked me about the mοnty hall problem and why his solution wasn't the correct one.  so i took one of my credit card offer envelopes and we started drawing diagrams ..

.. and just as he finally accepted the answer, my brother walks over and asks me what we're talking about .. so we tell him the problem, he thinks about it, and then we start drawing on the refrigerator ..

.. and he, too, accepts the answer eventually.

now, though, my dad is starting to look at the fridge ..
