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
Yes, he didn't explain that the interviewer knew which letter contained a rejection and had to pick one that contained a rejection.

But you really don't need to enumerate all the solutions to explain it. There is a 2/3rds chance you picked a rejection letter at the beginning. If you picked a rejection letter, once the other rejection letter is shown the remaining envelope must contain the offer, so there is a 2/3rds chance that by switching enveloped you get the offer.

No. The train wreck was avoided. Things got bumpy, but the train failed to de-rail.

You think all mormons are crazy, but yet there are plenty of people, even on TW that will admit they know normal mormons.
Err, when did I call mormons crazy? If brainwashed at a young age, anyone can beleive in anything. Mormons are far from crazy.

Hell, I'd go far enough to say that I like mormons. Most are very kind people and the ideal that the LDS church preaches is for the most part admirable.

HOWEVER, you're talking about a grown women who no longer believes in the tooth fairy or any other fairy tale yet still believes the utter bull**** involved in the history of your religion. She's either dumb or ignorant, not crazy. Either way, you can find better.

Again, ignorant you are being. For being dumb and ignorant, we Mormons are pretty well seated in important positions within society, and in fortune 500 companies. Google search famous Mormons, you would be surprised.

I did one, here:

You need to play more chess, then you could anticipate her next move.
Seriously, I play chess and I can tell you what a girl's next move is going to be 10 minutes before she does it.

I know plenty of normal mormons, and I work with a dude who is a mormon and he's a good guy. That doesn't mean I don't think the religion is ****ing crazy.
