woohoo, I got in on the first page in a HoF thread
Are you sure about that?
have u ever been to a bar? In all seriousness my advice would be to go to a bar, find a really drunk chick, bang her, and you will feel much better about yourself
...or feel like you have sinned and have to spend the rest of your life working for forgiveness, i dunno, i don't unsderstand your crazy mitt romney religion
yeah go commit date rape
that will help you
u messed up again, have a nice life!
The answer is yes. Say your original pick was envelope A. Originally, you had a 1/3 chance that envelope A contained the offer letter. There was a 2/3 chance that the offer letter was either in envelope B or C. If you stick with envelope A, you still have the same 1/3 chance. Now, the interviewer eliminated one of the envelopes (say, envelope B), which contained a rejection letter. So, by switching to envelope C, you now have a 2/3 chance of getting the offer and you’ve doubled your chances.
This had better be a troll
I'm so proud of my Mormon he has his first girl friend.

She's mormon so she's obviously dumb/gullible. I say find someone with some smartssss.
I bet she has a much higher IQ than anyone you have ever been with.

I can't watch.
rayn, i would like to take this opportunity to say that i love your commentary.
I bet she has a much higher IQ than anyone you have ever been with.
What is this, 5th grade?
I'm simply stating that dating someone who beleives in a nut-job religion is probably a bad idea when there's plenty of level-headed females out there.
I mean, would you date a scientologist?
This had better be a troll
it's not a troll but it's a shitty explanation
the key point in that little riddle is that the interviewer knows which envelope contains the acceptance letter, and that he will not reveal the acceptance letter when he shows you that one envelope
in a standard situation, you have three pairs of outcomes, six total:
1. you select acceptance letter, he reveals rejection letter #1
2. you select acceptance letter, he reveals rejection letter #2
3. you select rejection letter #1, he reveals rejection letter #2
4. you select rejection letter #1, he reveals acceptance letter
5. you select rejection letter #2, he reveals rejection letter #1
6. you select rejection letter #2, he reveals acceptance letter
given the assumption that he has perfect information, outcome #4 and outcome #6 will not happen. however, if he does not know what envelope contains what, and there is a chance he will reveal the acceptance letter, then this question is moot and switching makes no difference. the perfect information assumption is key.
so you have outcomes
1. you select acceptance letter, he reveals rejection letter #1
2. you select acceptance letter, he reveals rejection letter #2
3. you select rejection letter #1, he reveals rejection letter #2
5. you select rejection letter #2, he reveals rejection letter #1
if you select an acceptance letter, there is a 50% chance he will reveal one of the rejection letters. which one is irrelevant. so outcomes 1 and 2 can be condensed into one result.
if you select a rejection letter, he has no choice but to reveal the other rejection letter.
so there are 3 possibilities with equal probability:
(1) you select acceptance letter, he reveals either rejection letter with 50/50 probability
(2) you select rejection letter #1, he reveals rejection letter #2
(3) you select rejection letter #2, he reveals rejection letter #1
(1) - switching LOSES
(2) - switching WINS
(3) - switching WINS
kmz had the right idea but phrased the question wrong and explained it incorrectly

Ignorance.
I don't know much about scientolgy to say I would or would not. That which I have seen comes off a crazy, but I don't feel comfortable drawing that conclusion until they taught me about their beliefs and clarified my questions.
You think all mormons are crazy, but yet there are plenty of people, even on TW that will admit they know normal mormons.
